So far, so bad
So far my Leopard install has been pretty dismal. I clicked on the archive install but it did a regular install over 10.4.10. While installing, it erased my iCal calendars. When I reinstall them, it loses all my data whenever I quit iCal. Anyone out there have an suggestions?
I installed Leopard on two machines before I realized that the problem was affecting both. I'm now in the process of doing an erase and install on my MacBook. Hopefully, that will work. You would think that this type of problem wouldn't exist, considering how low Apple spent getting Leopard to market.

First 48hrs with N8 problems so far, help badly ne...
I've now had my N8 on Vodafone for a little under 48hrs my oroblems so far.
Phone finds & connects to wireless net works fine, or thats what it says, however whenever I access the internet either from browser or an application including Ovi store it connects via WAP. Wireless net works are set to 1st prority in list yet phone contnually connects via WAP, i've been trying to sort this for hours it's driving me mad. Any help would be appreciated.
Other worrying observations, phone turned it's self off & back on again once for no apparant reason, also when typing info when online for a forum I changed from landscape to portrait & internet connection crashed & retuned to the home screen, finally I've instlled Ovi Suite to my PC but when I connect fone it say Ovi Suite does not recognise the devise, I have phone set to Ovi Suite as default for the USB connection
Have talked to Vodafone & they will replace the phone as it's within seven days of my recieving, however I'm concerned this is a problem that's generic to the phone, has anyone sufferd the same problems/ Is there a means of overcoming them or have a ijust been unlucky & got a dud one. I don't want to replace with another if the problms are generic to N8.
A lot of questions here I know, any help would be greatfully recieved.
Solved!

An update on my first 48hrs with the N8.
The Good News.
Thanks to blu_crim WLAN connectivity issues were sorted, not sure why the phone was set to WAP as standard when Nokia make such a big deal of it's WLAN capabilities, anyway no worries as it was just a settings issue.
The Bad News.
When using my N8 yesterday evening (GMT), I logged onto the internet via the default browser which I assume is the Nokia one despite the Vodafone homepage being it's default homepage (I guess down to it being a Vodafone contract phone). Anyway when I opened the Vodafone home page the N8 turned it's self off. I restarted the phone & it returned to the N8 home page, I tried to scroll the screen to the other home pages but nothing it would not move, then within seconds it turned off again., this time It's dead it won't turn back on, just a blank screen & no reaction when I press the start button. I've not tried a hard reset & to be honest have no intention of, as far as I'm concerned this thing is going back I have to decide whether to give the N8 another chance & get a direct replacement or jump ship to a either HTC or Iphone. I so want this to be a great phone but experience so far is not good.
It lasted 48hrs almost to the minute before dieing!
Anyone else suffered the same or have I just been unlucky?
Hi slimswim703
Just to let you know, you are not on your own. My N8 switched off on Friday night while I had it on charge, It did not turn back on until the morning. It has been OK since Saturday but has now (Thursday 28th) decided to give up again. I will try it again in the morning, but I feel that this is not acceptable, and the only course of action will be to return the phone!
Hope you have more luck with yours. -
How to identify relevant BADIs to hide a screen field from specific users
We have a business requirement to hide a document item field (BSEG-XREF3) from specific users (i.e make the field invisible if the userid does not exist in a Z table) during FI invoice entry/maintenance/display via transactions FB01, FB02, FB03, FV50, FV60, FBV0, etc.. We know that it would be possible to do this via modification to the Process Before Output sections of LF040O00, LFDCBFM0, MF05AO00_DYNPRO_MODIFIZIEREN, MF05LO00, but would prefer to avoid modification if possible.
I believe that BADIs could possibly be used for screen enhancements, but have not had any previous exposure to BADIs, so I'm really not sure whether it's possible to use BADIs for our specific requirement. For example, using the advice given in the 2nd post in thread BADI for contract, I've searched SAPMF05A for all 'CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_instance' statements, and have found that a single BADI (FBAS_CIN_MF05AFA0 - EWT - Downpayment Clearing - Tax transfer for CIN) seems to exist for FB01. The description of this BADI sounds completely inappropriate for our requirement. However, subsequent posts in that thread suggest far more BADIs for the relevant transaction than were given when searching the ABAP for all 'CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_instance' statements, so I'm not convinced that the procedure I'm following will provide me with all the relevant BADIs for the transaction.
Please can you advise me how to identify which BADIs - if any - can be used to control screens before output for FB01 screen SAPMF05A/332 (SAP R/3 4.6C)?
Many thanks in anticipation,
JulesHi Kuntal,
Thank you very, very much for your prompt response and very useful alternative suggestion.
The screen variant solution would be invaluable under different circumstances, but would be too complex to administer for this particular issue because we're trying to hide the field from unauthorised users in over 100 invoice entry/maintenance/display transactions.
We can make a Process Before Output modification to 4 SAP standard programs (LF040O00, LFDCBFM0, MF05AO00_DYNPRO_MODIFIZIEREN, MF05LO00) to make the field invisible for unauthorised users (i.e. whose user-ids are not in a Z* table), but would prefer to avoid modification if we could use BADIs instead. You've said that you're not sure how we can identify the relevant BADIs, but I very much appreciate the suggestion you've made anyway - it might be useful to others who find themselves in a similar situation for a more limited number of transactions.
Please can someone advise me how to identify which BADIs - if any - can be used to control screens before output for FB01 screen SAPMF05A/332 (SAP R/3 4.6C)?
Many thanks,
Jules -
I'm certain I have actually entered the password I chose as I have only 3 that I ever use. I have now tried 20 times and not guessed it. I did not realise that restricting adult content would mean I can't use any apps that use adult content occasionally, e.g I assumed I would still be able to use BBC iPlayer but that it would not be possible for my daughter or anyone else to access programmes of an adult content. Wrong. It stops you from using the app at all just because some programmes have that content. In true Apple style there was no warning of this beforehand. Just as there was no warning before I set the passcode that if I forgot it, I'd have to wipe the device. I'm getting pretty fed up with Apple all told. When I my first iPhone fell into a drain it took 3 hour long calls from London to California just to get my photos back on the phone when they should have been there automatically. It then took 10 months to recover the music which should have again been there automatically.
Please, does anybody know how many times I can try guessing the passcode before something awful happens, like it wipes the content anyway? I only really use the iPad to watch tv and now I can't even do that! My apple devices have caused me nothing but woe. The whole system is so unbelievably un-user friendly.
Any advice very welcome indeed.
ThanksThanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks -
Switching between VTs kills Xorg and GDM restarts
Hi,
since yesterday I noticed some sort of severe problem of my system. I am still trying to locate the reason why this all happens.
My problem looks like this: Every time I switch from X to a VT everything looks fine. But once I want to switch back to X, it dies completely and GDM restarts.
So far so bad, first I thought GDM is creating this and downgraded it to 2.22. That didn't help, so back up to date.
But I activated its debug modus to receive this output:

Once I switch back, GDM reloads and I get the same output with GDM stating nothing why this happened.
I looked through all log files without finding anything obvious. My problem is, that I am not sure if it is GDM doing this or some buggy configuration of a programme doing rubbish...
Some helpful advice will be nice.
Regards,
SimonProblem solved temporarily:
I downgraded all X.org packages related to the recent update for xorg-server 1.9. Since then GDM doesn't seam to crash. Otherwise I noted that 1.9 is not much of a matured release yet. I read many instability issues here.
Btw, would a mod like to move this thread to update issues? This thread will better fit in that section.
Thanks

Upgrading to Firefox 17 on ubuntu linux 10.04 caused my xmodmap remapped keys to not work in Firefox
After upgrading from Firefox 16 (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to Firefox 17 (17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) on 22-November-2012 I no longer can use an xmodmap remapped F key in Firefox. It still works in other gnome programs but pressing the new F key anywhere in Firefox 17 produces no action. I even had to use the gedit program in order to type all this before copying it into the Ask a Question form.
Here is my situation: I use Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS on a circa 2004 Sony Vaio notebook pc. I've been using linux on it dating back to Ubuntu 8.04. When I got the used pc the "F" key on the keyboard was broken off. I programmed the .xmodmaprc file in my home folder to initiate the "Keycode 133 = F" command on startup in order to remap the missing key to the unused Windows Logo key on the lower left of the keyboard. This has worked flawlessly for over four years. In all prior versions of Firefox going back to whatever version was included in Ubuntu 8.04 I have had no trouble using this key through all Firefox upgrades until now.
On the morning of 22-Nov-2012 the Update Manager notified me of an upgrade to the following packages as shown in the history log of Synaptic Package Manager:
Commit Log for Thu Nov 22 09:20:16 2012
Upgraded the following packages:
firefox (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-branding (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-gnome-support (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-locale-en (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
ubufox (2.1.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 2.6-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
xul-ext-ubufox (2.1.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 2.6-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
After performing the upgrade and restarting Firefox I noticed I was no longer able to use my remapped F key at all. I checked other programs and it worked OK so I know it's a Firefox 17 problem only. I tried reinstalling all the packages again with no results. I even went so far as to perform a Reset Firefox in Help-->Troubleshooting Information to try and get it working. All this ended up doing was removing all add-on extensions and changing some of my settings in Preferences but I'm not positive of any changes beyond the Location Bar setting in Privacy changing from Nothing to History and proxy setting going from No to Auto-Detect.
The only solution that has worked to fix this problem is uninstalling Firefox 17 and reinstalling Firefox 16 using a downloaded firefox_16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb file from Ubuntu as Firefox 16 no longer shows up in the main repository since 22-November-2012. The only versions available for a Force Version in Synaptic are 3.6 and 17 now. After downgrading only the firefox package shows version 16.0.2, all other components I listed above stayed at version 17. I don't know if this will cause any other problems but so far nothing bad has happened.
After I submit this question I will be downgrading again to Firefox 16 until this problem can be solved.
Edit: noted the following Language Packs were disabled on restart after downgrading to Firefox 16 again:
English (GB) Language Pack 17.0
English (South Africa) Language Pack 17.0
If my memory is correct I only remember having an English (GB) Language Pack in all prior versions of Firefox. Firefox 17 was the first time I noticed a English (South Africa) Language Pack installed. It's possible the problem with xmodmap keys not functioning in Firefox 17 could be related to something in these two packs.Ok I tested a bunch of different Firefoxes on my pos linux box.
'''''Worked with xmodmap:'''''
Vanilla 16.0.2,
Vanilla 16.0B6,
Ubuntu Firefox 16.0.2 (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1)
'''''Did Not Work with xmodmap:'''''
Vanilla 17.0.1,
Ubuntu Firefox 17.0.1 (17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1)
I have an old Dell Dimension 2400 I plan to use as a replacement for the Sony Vaio when it pops. I've held out as long as possible because it lacks a pci or usb wifi and I really didn't want to run 50 feet of cat5 up a flight of stairs to it. [as i type this i think i remember where a linksys stick for it might be]. Yes I guess it's about time I just do that.
Don't laugh but the reason I held off adding a simple usb keyboard was just lack of space in my tiny bedroom. My setup is on two tray tables side-by-side. Sony Vaio is on left one, my lcd monitor and mouse are on the other. I barely have room to put a cup of coffee on the one with monitor and mouse let alone a full size usb keyboard lol.
Anyway thank you again for all your help. -
I cannot reset the Ipad either, Safari won't work, and it won't charge properly if the battery runs all the way down...
Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.

Hi Dude,

Hey guys, Heres one for you tech guys. It was a false alarm on my password issue. Somehow or another i was going to discuss this issue with this or some other forum. Now ,i aint no hi-tech redneck but i aint stupid either, maybe a little dumb ,but hey. I got to the point where i had to sign in for this disscusion and i thought,CRAP, I cant sign in,i dont know my password. Mind You, I have been dealin with this for a couple of hours and i thought well, 1 more time, it might as well have been 52 times but, it went thru. I might have typed it wrong a couple of times but i typed it most everytime cuz i knew that was it and it is a perty simple password. Beats me. figure that one out. Glitch in the system maybe? Good Luck, Bobby Dawg Goin down low>

Defective Batteries and Apple Customer Service
I just spoke with Apple Customer Service today about the battery in My MBP 2.16CD, which is, according to them, defective. However, since it just recently became unable to hold a charge, and is 1 month out of warranty, they will not replace it. This is despite the fact that it only has 99 cycles on it, and will only hold a 1800mAh charge!
I am very dissapointed that they would admit that the product is defective, but not offer any recompense. I know its out of warranty (by 1 month, it was a replacement battery) but it seems dodgy that they would refuse any sort of service. Has anyone had similar experiences? Is there any consumer legislation that can be brought to their attention?Hi,
I have the same experience with a dodgy Customer Service. At a service point in my city they told me that they would repair the battery for free, but since i bought it at apple directly i should first asks permission via Customer Service. And after a 30 minute wait on a mobile phone they told me; out of warranty even though 70 loading cycles is not normal for a mac-book-pro battery. I send them a letter, but no response. They like to tell you that since its a battery, you can never claim more than the 1 year warranty; which i think is nonsense, since it is an advanced power device with its own set of chips en led indicators that happens to hold a battery. Anyway; very frustrating indeed to communicate with the boys and girls from Customer Service, and no positive result. It was my first experience with them [and i'm using apple since 1990!] and so far so bad. -
Windows 7 Backup - System image includes non system disk
Hi,
I am trying out windows 7 backup, hoping at last that I won't need a 3rd party backup solution. So far so bad!
My first problem is how ridicilously slow the backup is, but this has been discussed at length elsewhere. My second problem is the backup stalls when I try to backup a folder which I know has got various bits of malware in. I am an IT pro and use the files in this folder for testing purposes. OK fair enough I guess, although I think the backup should handle this event a bit more elegantly. So I've zipped and password protected the offending files to hide them from the AV (security essentials by the way)
The final problem which I just can't understand is that when I try to create an image of my system drive, backup wants to add my D drive (which is purely a data drive) to the image. My D drive is huge and I don't want to include it in a system image. I keep my system drive lean and mean for exactly this purpose but now I can't back it up because the total size of C and D drives combined exceed the capacity of my backup drive.
I know for a fact that the D drive has no consequence to the system boooting or operating, I have disconnected it and windows boots up just fine. In computer management the D Drive is not showing up as a system drive, so why does windows think it is? And why isn't there a power user mode wher I can choose exactly what I want in a system image, I understand you're trying to make windows easy to use for the average Joe, but this lack of functionality and in depth control feels more like a Mac than windows.... and I hate macs.
So can anyone shed any light as to why my D drive is being flagged as a system disk, otherwise it's back to 3rd party solutions... AGAIN
ThanksThere is a solution.
Microsoft usually have stuff that is not documented. For example Windows server 2008 comes with a command line utility that will allow the backup (in this case a shadow copy) of any drive you wish to a backup target. The program is wbadmin.exe.
According to some Microsoft sources it doesn't exists on Windows 7 but let me assure you that it does; I use it all the time, specifically to get round the problems you have described in your posts.
I build VHD images and test them until I am happy with them and then I back them up as a system image and then rewrite them on to a system drive. I can only do this with wbadmin.exe
To backup your c: to your d: (or what ever other drive you have space on in this case we will use d:)
- Open a command prompt as Administrator
- Run the following command:
Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:d: -include:c: -quiet
- You should get output something like this:
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2004 Microsoft Corp.
Retrieving volume information...
This will back up volume System(C:) to D:.
The backup operation to D: is starting.
Creating a shadow copy of the volumes specified for backup...
Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (1%).
Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (29%).
Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (57%).
Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (79%).
Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (98%).
The backup of volume System(C:) successfully completed.
The backup operation successfully completed.
Summary of the backup operation:
The backup of volume System(C:) successfully completed.
That should complete the backup. It should create a WindowsImageBackup folder in the dirve you backed up to.
Restore as normal.
There is one small but very important caveat: If you have any system files or programs that are linked to the system drive on your d: drive or elsewhere you may find that when you restore your system the links are broken. it should not happen if you
have not made any changes before you restore but if you are like me who use the d: to store the bulk of the program files and just use the c: to store the system OS (on SSD... the need for speed! :) ) then you need to be careful... be warned!!
That's all folks!

I have installed ios7 on my iPad 4. After installation it asked me a pass code which I have never set. After multiple attempts it is disabled. I don't have backup on my iCloud or iTunes. Is there anyone who can help to enable it or to reverse iPad to ios6. I asked Apple store & tech said to format it but I will lose all the data..!
Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.

I use a MAC G5 with Logic Pro 7.2.1 - I play a Korg Triton through a Motu Micro Express Midi interface to access the sounds in Logic as well as my Ivory Grand Piano Plug In. A Mackie Control Universal is my interface.
Ever since I got geared up last March I noticed that when I changed files (song projects) from client to client during the course of the day that my Ivory track would show up transposed a step down. Not limited to the Ivory track sometimes a Bass track, maybe a Bass from Apples Jam Packs, would be transposed.
I never have messed with the transposition of any Logic track, I don't even know how to do that, but I have transposed a song or two in the Ivory Grand Piano Plug In Window.
It was my understanding that once you close the Logic file that it would remember the parameters of that file the next time you opened it.
Well something very telling happened yesterday. In the morning I worked on a clients song. It was a song that early on I may have transposed the Ivory track to help the singer. I closed out of that file and when I brought up a file of another client's work their Ivory track and their Bass track were transposed down a step. Keep in mind that the day before that client's track played down perfectly in the right key and I'm sure I closed the file with it in the right key. And obviously all the audio tracks remained in the original correct key.
Here's the kicker. Fearing that I would mess up my client's song I quickly closed the file without saving any changes and completely closed Logic. When I rebooted Logic Pro and reopened their file the Ivory Grand piano track and the Logic Bass track were in key again!
This has happened quite a few times to me but only now have I realized that completely closing down Logic fixes the problem. ie - If I just ping pong from one file to the next without closing Logic down I have this transposing problem on the Midi instrument tracks.
I'd like to remedy this because it's time consuming to close down Logic between every client. Any ideas? ThanksInnoMan, I experience frequent problems with Logic Pro that require quitting and relaunching the application. I'd say in a typical 3-hour session working with Logic, I end up doing this about 4 or 5 times. The glitches I experience sometimes involve transposition of notes.
Tell me, when your track gets transposed, does it actually appear transposed, or does it just sound that way? In other words, does the region become magically set to transpose (say, set to +4 or something)? Or, when you go into the region, have the notes been moved?
If neither of these things is happening, but the track just sounds wrong, then that's a problem I've been having. I have a bass line that repeats throughout a track, and it's all in key (A). Recently, I moved that baseline further along in the track. I changed nothing. The first time I listened to it, it all sounded fine. Every subsequent listening, however, sounded like the notes had been transposed to a completely different key. The region had not been transposed, and the notes in the region are still in A. However, it sounds completely off.
I tried completely recreating the region, instead of using a copy from earlier in the track. That worked on the first listen, however again, subsequent listenings and the notes are off.
I'm guessing that upgrading to Logic 7.2.1 might make a difference (I'm using 7.1.1). However, Apple wants me to give them $50 for this experiment, and given Logic's reliability so far (pretty bad), I'm loathe to give Apple more money for this thing.
Anyhow, let me know your experience. Thanks. -

PS CS6: Images sometimes not saved when using Close All and instructed to save
I thought I had made a crazy mistake when this happened earlier today, but it just did it again and I was paying close attention.
I often open multiple images to make several changes, then use Close All and when it prompts "Do you want to save changes to ... before closing?" I check off the box to "Apply to all" and say Yes. This saves lots of time when adjusting several multi-hundred MB images. Imagine my surprise today when it closed an image without saving! I had to repeat about 30 minutes of work as a result.
I thought I had somehow accidentally clicked "No" to saving, so I made sure to pay close attention the next few times I used Close All to save work. It worked fine until a moment ago when it did it again.
Has anyone seen something like this? I can't find anything in searching. In all my time using this feature in PS I never once had a problem before.Thanks for the reply.
I just upgraded to CS6 from CS5 a few days ago, and this is my first week in heavy usage.
I do have Save in Background turned on. I am saving locally. I also have auto recovery saves turned on, at 5 minute intervals (CS6 has crashed a few times on me)
Yesterday I used Close All with Save maybe 10 times, and it exhibited this behavior 2 of those times.
In the two cases, I had 3 PSDs open, each a little over 400 mb in size. It seemed to save two of the images, but left one unsaved. I noticed that instead of spending several seconds saving, it would quickly just close that image - as though it believed no changes had been made. The changes that had been made to the image were routine - add some adjustment layers, some masks etc.
I have tried to reproduce it by opening the same images, making similar changes and then repeating Close All with Save, but so far no (bad) luck. Idle speculation - could it have something to do with the frequent interval of autorecovery saves that I do? Some kind of conflict? Or is it something to do with background saves? Definitely never saw this in previous versions of PS.
As a workaround, I have made a simple action that saves an image and apply it in batch. I just can't risk losing work.
