Should I Or Shouldnt I ?

Upgrade to 2.0 now or not ?

My suggestion is no, my update's been attempting for going on two hours, still no luck finishing.
Other's have had success, not sure what the variables that make it difficult for some and easy for others.

  • Newbie needing help with code numbers and if-else

    I'm 100% new to any kind of programming and in my 4th week of an Intro to Java class. It's also an on-line class so my helpful resources are quite limited. I have spent close to 10 hours on my class project working out P-code and the java code itself, but I'm having some difficulty because the project seems to be much more advanced that the examples in the book that appear to only be partly directly related to this assignment. I have finally come to a point where I am unable to fix the mistakes that still show up. I'm not trying to get anyone to do my assignment for me, I'm only trying to get some help on what I'm missing. I want to learn, not cheat.
    Okay, I have an assignment that, in a nutshell, is a cash register. JOptionPane prompts the user to enter a product code that represents a product with a specific price. Another box asks for the quanity then displays the cost, tax and then the total amount plus tax, formatted in dollars and cents. It then repeats until a sentinel of "999" is entered, and then another box displays the total items sold for the day, amount of merchandise sold, tax charged, and the total amount acquired for the day. If a non-valid code is entered, I should prompt the user to try again.
    I have this down to 6 errors, with one of the errors being the same error 5 times. Here are the errors:
    C:\PROGRA~1\XINOXS~1\JCREAT~1\MyProjects\Sales.java:50: 'else' without 'if'
    else //if invalid code entered, output message
    ^

    And finally, here is my code. Please be gentle with the criticism. I've really put a lot into it and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I had downloaded it again for free from itunes app store but when i hooked my iphone back up to my lap top it will not start to download onto my phone again..why is this? it should be automatic shouldnt it? how do i go about putting this app back on my phone again?

  • Mother board replaced, but now software (CS2) needs re-activation..

    Hi guys, feel free to tell me if this is the wrong place to talk about this, but i recently asked for help about the mini not turning on.
    (The story behind request - below)
    (Well that was a faulty motherboard, THEN my screen wouldnt talk to the mini when i got home! cos they had tested it with a different screen and wouldnt you know it, i had wireless keyboard and mouse, so i wasnt able to hold down any buttons on startup to reset the screen preferences! So i took it back to the shop and got that fixed. But when i got home, my keyboard and mouse werent working. So i bought a mac keyboard and a mighty mouse, but they didnt work, so i rang up the mac guys and talked for a while and i relalised that my usb hub had broken and just by being plugged in to my mini, the other accessories were being ********! Like it was draining the usb power. i returned the unneeded mighty mouse, So that was the end of that fiasco.)
    But when i tried to get back to work, it wanted me to activate the creative suite again.
    What do i do if this (my second computer) needs reactivation? If i put in the codes, will it mess around with my other computer?
    Do i need to reload the programme? or deactivate my second copy over the net before reactivating?
    Do you guys have any clues?
    Or is the wrong place to be asking?
    sincerely Paul

    it turns out that i didnt need to load anything at all! i hadnt gotten past the initial dialogue talking about activation because i hadnt wanted to start anything i couldnt finish. But as soon as i hit "activate", it sent off the codes originally put in and bingo, it was over.
    So really it shouldnt say "activate" it should say "verify" shouldnt it? it causes confusion that way.
    Thanks for support.
    Keep up the good work.

  • Limit MM01 according to field DIVISION (SPART) in "general data" and views

    Hi all,
    we are in a 4.0b.
    Our goal is to authorize some users to create/modify material master data (MM01/MM02) depending from the combination of views (basic data, purchasing, mrp, ..) and field DIVISION (SPART) in the "General Data" frame of "Basic Data 1" label.
    I can imagine 2 possible situations:
    1) for division (SPART) AA, AB, AC only for views K, E, S
    2) for division (SPART) ZX, ZY, ZZ only for views L,G
    From my experience I know that object M_MATE_STA (for manege views) is "stand alone" and cannot be used in join with other authorizatuions objects of class MM_G.
    I have not found any authorization object to filter the field SPART.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks
    Andrea

    Hi Andrea,
    What you ask, is possible but you would have to think of the pro's and con's of developing such business requirements.
    You could always create a Z-object with Division as a field and have the abap code modified - but as i said, do think of the outcome of the action
    My personal experience says, NOT to try tricks with the Material Master.......i am still suffering the after effects of changes made to the ABAP code 8 or 9 years back , and every fortnight we have business meetings on what should and what shouldnt be made available to end users........
    we have a spaghetti of restrictions and possible combinations of users and specifc view access restrictions built in our system - If you believe my word on this, take it for granted - that the plan you have on mind would eventually lead to a disastrous situation (as we currently face) - with business requirements going from restricitons on views for specific users to restrcitions on specific fields. 
    and the fields in material master that come from MARA (Basic Data views) are spread across in different other views and it can lead to a very complex structure to build authorizations
    EX: If you manage to restrict the user on creating or changing on the Division in Basic data, you would still have to give acess to the user to his own sales area to extend the material (object M_MATE_VKO), once the user has this access, he can go to the sales data 1 tab and change the division from A to B, this will get updated to the Basic data tab, although the user might not have access to basic data
    so be careful is what i can say................
    and good luck
    An other quick note: when you restrict users on the Basic data views, the users from Purchase department wouldnt be able to maintain the Manufacturing part number (i dont know if it applies to your company) but the intention is to highlight the difficulties with MM01/MM02

  • 2.0 update?

    SO whats the big deal? Should I or shouldnt I upgrade? Are there any costs involed with the added services?

    My wife upgraded her phone and I didn't. She was nice enough (love that woman) to let me play with her 1st generation iphone on 2.0 all day. Now I see the need to upgrade mine, even though it has some 'extra' features.
    Like the others say though, give the crowd a day or two to thin out before trying. The load on the servers was a little too much today me thinks.

  • WRT160N - Signal is very weak...

    Hi ...I am unfortunately unhappy WRT160N (v1.53) USER...
    My problem is the signal strenght...I live in small flat...
    My room (where the router is located) is about 12 meters away from my ps3...Its just door-corridor-door further..
    But the signal is about 20%!!...And its impossible to work with such a signal quality!.
    I have tried all channels combination....as mixed b/g, mixed wide, mixed standard etc....Sometimes it has helped for 10 minutes...but the signal never exceed 70%...After that it always start to lower step by step...and when I close any door..signal is about 20-30% lower...
    On some channels Signal starts to change a lot in very short amount of time...It looks sth like that: 40% for 2 minutes...then 60% for 10 sec...100% for 0,5 second then 20% and 60%...and it goes like that all the time
    I dunno what to do, because I have also checked wifi signal strenght with my PDA....When I stay next to router (about 1 meter away), signal sometimes isnt full...Its very good...But **bleep**..It should be FULL shouldnt it?
    The best part is that my friend who have 2 times bigger flat, bought cheap WIFI usb card for about 5$...and he has nearly 100% signal strenght all over the apartament
    HELP...

    Are you getting the same signal strength on the wireless computer..?Some time it is also depend on the wireless adapter you are using on the computers or the devices.
    Try the following settings on the router...On the setup page,click on subtab Advance Wireless Settings under Wireless tab and Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on save settings... Under Security tab,uncheck the option "Filter Anonymous Internet Requests" and click on save settings.
    Also reduce the MTU to 1364 on the router and the PS3 and power cycle the complete network and check the result.If these settings doesn't helps then,upgrade/reflash the router's firmware and reconfigure the router from scratch. 

  • Gmail notification not working right?

    I only occasionally receive email notifications for my gmail account. I have to open mail and let it search for new mail to get them or see if I have any. I cant imagine this is how it should work? SHouldnt i just be able to use the little red circle and/or chime as a notification?

    How do you have it set to check. Did you set it up using the default options of making it check gMail (thus IMAP). If so, it checks on an interval still (what is your interval set to for checking for mail?). You are not notified instantly of an email.
    By opening email you force a check so if mail was waiting and it was in between checks, yes you will see new mail show up then.
    However, Google just recently made it so you can set it up as an Exchange account instead (thus you are notified instantly of new email...however note, will mean faster battery drain and also note since it sets up as an Exchange account, if you already have your phone working with Exchange you cannot go this route as you can only have one Exchange account).

  • I simply have suggestions: I think u should be able to store whatever u have on any devices to iCloud. For example: it shouldnt matter where I have my songs from, we long as they are on my devices I should be able to save them on iCloud.

  • HT4623 should I update my iPhone 4 to 7.0.2? I have heard I shouldnt do the update.

    should I update to 7.0.2 on my iPhone 4? I have heard there are problems for the iPhone 4 and should not do this.

    Your phone should still work, just make sure iTunes backs up your phone and the update will download and install smoothly.
    Also make sure youre using the latest version of iTunes (10.5) before you start the update.

  • Can someone please help me.. Everytime I try to view a website a Security Certificate warning comes up. The MACBook i use is 4 years old but it should work shouldnt it

    I have major drama trying to use the Internet, accessing my yahoo emails is a nightmare. But EVERY website asks pops up with security certificates. Even coming on to this apple website was a task. My Macbook is 4 yrs old but I think this means that there is something wrong with it.
    I would pay for any updates if that is what is required. But I cant even see how to do that

    Hmmm. Have you installed any software on your MacBook lately?
    Which browser are you using?
    What, exactly does the pop up message say?

  • What should I do!? - Sketchy Apple Repair Service

    What should I do about this? Should I contact Apple Support or Verizon and let them know what has happened? Please help!
    I have just been through a horrible repair service request. I sent my iPhone 5S in for service about two weeks ago because there has been dust trapped under the backface camera lense since I got the phone. The dust sometimes causes problems with the photos, and disrupts the autofocus function. I had previously sent my iPhone 4 in through Apple's mail-in repair service two years ago, as the mute-switch did not work out of the box. The service was excellent, the phone was replaced, and I had clear instructions on what to do in order to get my device working again when the new one was received. This time, this was not the case. Not at all.
    I got my comfirmation email from AppleCare for the service request, which listed the "reported issue" as "device will not power on", after I had just reported it as "dust under camera lense". A red flag immediately went up for me; this was not the issue I had just submitted! They also listed my product as "iPhone 5" in the first email, then "iPhone 5S" in a second email saying a box was on its way.
    So I got the box, followed the instuctions to back up the phone, erase all content and settings, and pack it into th box. I soon noticed the issue on the box was listed as "iPhone will not power off". The funny thing is, I had just got a third email saying the issue was "Dust under camera lense". I was so incredibly confused, but I packed the phone up and sent it anyways.
    I got another email when the device was received by the AppleCare screening facility. It said diagnostics would begin. That very same night, I got another email saying "Despite rather extensive testing by our team, we were unable to duplicate the reported issue 'Dust under camera lense'. Please provide us with additional information to duplicate the issue."
    I was a little bit dissapointed, because I thought my initial description to "replicate the reported issue" was pretty clear. So I elaborated. I explained what types of light the dust and small fiber under the bakcface camera could be seen in. AppleCare asked me "what software does this affect?" So I explained how it affected the camera apps. They then told me they would do additional testing.
    After one more day, I received an email stating "We have determined your issue is not covered under warrenty, and it would be less expensive for you to simply purchase a new device, rather than have us repair your current one." There was no way I was paying $700 for a replacement, when in my previous experience the devices I sent apple were replaced or repaired free of charge. If my warrenty states that my iPhone is "free of defects" until the warrenty expires, why is this not considered a defect? Or is it simply that I got some lazy employee, who didn't care to fully evaluate my product and issue? Read on, my experience gets even better!
    So, I opted to just have the device returned to me. I was told in one of the emails I could take it into an Apple Store (which is 4+ hours away from where I live) anyways. So, the device returned to me today. I opened the box to find the battery completely depleted. I proceeded to plug the phone into my computer and charge it. So, the device powers back on. iTunes prompts me "Allow access to this iPhone?" I choose yes, then I am told to "Respond on the iPhone". To my utter dismay yet again, the phone has been passcoded. I could not access the phone at all, and it had not been erased when sent back to me. So, being as intuitive as I am, I type in "1, 2, 3, 4" as the passcode. The phone unlocks. Curious, I opened the photo app. I find picutres taken with both the front and back cameras of various colors and squares printed out onto papers, and a few up-close pictures of a rather scrubby looking asian man's face.
    At this point I am completely fed up with my service. I erased the phone, and proceeded with the setup screen. Upon asking if I would like to restore my backup from iCloud, I am prompted to enter the AppleID password for some strange AppleID that is not mine, and is an @hotmail.com address. I could very well disclose the address here but probably shouldnt. So instead, I restored the backup from iTunes I had made, and put my sim card back into the phone. I have all of my content and settings back now, am am right back where I started; but I am left to ponder on what course of action to take regarding this very scary experience.
    What should I do? Should I contact Apple Support or Verizon and let them know what has happened? Please, your help is important to me!

    First I would have returned the iPhone to Verizon the minute I discovered dust under the camera lens and had them replace it with a new on.
    Second, the instant there was a problem with sending it in I would have used a telephone and called AppleCare and discussed the issue with them.
    Do the pictures that are on the phone show any of the issues you claim are present?
    Incidentally, you can do an out-of-warranty replacement of the iPhone for $269 USD, not $700.
    But finally, I would call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to Customer Service. Give them your service number and go over each of your complaints with them.

  • How large of a backup drive should I get for my 500 GB MacBook Pro?

    I have a MBP with a 500 GB hard drive. How large of a backup drive should I get for time machine backups? If I get a 500 GB drive will it just back up everything twice (as I have 250 used) and then delete the second backup every time it rebacks up so I will just have 2 backups? Or does time machine only backup changes every time it backs up? Thanks in advance.

    OK, so I ordered a Seagate 1.5 TB external drive. That should suffice for my iMac w/ 320 GB and MBP w/ 500 GB shouldnt it?
    Probably. See #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    Should I just partition it 750/750? or maybe 600/600/300
    Use roughly the same proportions as the data on the two Macs, adjusted for how you use them. If one changes lots of big files frequently and the other doesn't, give more space to the first one.
    so I have space to put random files as well?
    If you put important stuff on a 3rd partition, you can have TM back it up, too (unless the drive is attached to your Airport), but it will send you a warning reminding you that it's not a good idea to have both originals and backups on the same physical disk. You'll be much better off finding another way to back that up, perhaps archiving to CDs/DVDs.
    Am I able to partition it and use it with my airport extreme?
    Officially, no: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    and: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2426
    But some folks (including me) are doing it anyway!
    So if it works for you, just be aware it's technically unsupported, and you'll get little or no help from Apple if there are problems. And a future update may break it.
