Some refurb 1G questions and possible issues

Hello everyone - my wife bought me an early Christmas gift and I got it yesterday. She got me the Touch 1G 8gig model from the refurb store here on Apple. She is a diehard Mac user and has an old Nano she loves. Any way I have already had a few issues (possibly)
1) Is the sound quality of the stock headphones really bad or do I have a bad set? The sound quality is just horrible. It just sounds flat, no bass, no treble, and just bad overall. Playing with the built in EQ settings did not help at all. I just got more distortion.
2) The wifi seems incredibly slow. At first I thought it was due to browsing a page with too much graphic content, but even just browsing basic sites it seems a lot slower than the Touch 2G I played with at Best Buy (I dont have any local Apple Stores). Is this normal as well? I thought it would be fun to take the Touch vs. one of our laptops on short trips for basic wifi browsing, but this is almost painfully slow.
3) I tried docking it today for the first time with a cheap little JVC speaker powered speaker. I got no sound at first. I had to fiddle with the docking several times. It works perfectly with my wife's Nano. Once I got sound to work, it froze on me on the 10th or 12th song. Froze as in it just paused on its own mid song. Once I hit play it did start again. I have not tried it again since.
The first problem I can deal with by getting better headphones. I hope it is just the headphones that sound horrible and not the unit. My wife has her Nano in the car so I can't compare side by side yet. The second issue is an annoyance and I would like to know if the 2G Touch is really faster of if I just imagined it. The third issue bothers me. I dont like things freezing up on me when they are brand new (well brand new refurb).
With BF coming up, I assume retailers will be running some deals on the 2G touch. If I upgrade to the 2.0 or 2.1 software for the refurb, it isnt much cheaper than a new 2G model. Are the 2G models any better with the above issues?
thanks all for the help-
sm

I dont have a local Apple Store unless the Best Buy kiosk counts (which I stated in my original post). Closest real one is 2 hrs away. They were supposed to be building one here this year, but nothing came of it yet.
I am trying to avoid shipping it back if possible if it is something that is either normal or easily solvable.

Overprint Preview question and another issue...

Hi...
CS4, Win XP.
Overprint Preview question:
The other day i sent a file for printing (poster) in PDF and CS2 formats. For some reason, the printer converted the file to a .tif and then printed. Parts dropped out... Both the PDF and CS2 files looked fine.Description follows:
1/ Background black
2/ Design element over the black (blue lines to form a wave).
3/ Logo in red and white. Plus a line of text in red. And other text in white.
The white of the logo vanished. The red line of text kind of vanished... printed very faintly and only (i think in parts). Printer tried to do a patch job of printing the line separately and pasting... anyway... to cut a long story short, he wanted the final output in .tif. OK...
So, i converted to tif and sure enough... those parts vanished... did a search here and found the solution - view file in Overprint Preview and then in Attributes, turn off the Overprint Fill... so all well...
So, the question is, why does this happen? And, how, do i know in advance that x or y is likely to cause a problem? I have noticed in Bridge that sometimes, parts of a logo or a line of text does not show... but looks fine in AI or Acrobat... now realise the cause, but not the reason.
The other issue...
Same black background(s)... placed Photoshop file/s with a transparent background... Prints fine at the printers (various machines and media) ... But on the laserprinter an HP Color Laser Jet CP1510 series, there's a dark patch around the image (the actual file area).
Again, any ideas?
Cheers...

Hi PrepressPro...
Many thanks for your earlier inputs, but not quite sure where you got the idea that i want someone or anyone to play detective... i've understood the Overprint problem... and moved on. If anything, maybe i was just musing and wondering if any particular action turns on "Overprint Fill"...
Or maybe, i was referring to the second question which has not been resolved yet... Quoting it below for easy reference:

To elaborate, the pix above are product shots which have been cut out and placed on a transparent background... The PS file is then placed in AI CS4 with the object option selected to maintain transparency. The transparent area is printing darker on the printer above. But is fine when sent to commerciqal printers...
Attached is a scan of the problem...

Keyboard backlight question and/or issue

When I am on a call after like 30-60 seconds the screen and keyboard dim and then go off. I am using a bluetooth but it also does this on handset audio when you do not press a key for a while during a call. I know this is normal. What I do not know is if the next part is normal. On the Tour the Green Talk key, menu, back, and red end key all stay lit up after the dim. I had to exchange my first tour and on this second one sometimes even the main row (green, menu, back, end keys) will dim so the entire keyboard is not lit up. That main row is lit up sometimes and sometimes not. Sort of like how the LCD dims sometimes and then the backlight will come back on for no reason like all blackberry's seem to do. Is my main row backlighting acting normal or is that row supposed to be lit the whole time and i have a short?

I too would love to know the answer to this question.
DJs use MB Pros under the same conditions, and I have heard from some that they have never experienced any issues after two years of intense use.

Wet iPhone Question and Applecare Issue

Hello! Sorry to post another topic about a wet iPhone, but I have a specific question.
Yesterday while fishing, I bent over to get something and my iPhone fell out of my pocket into the lake. I grabbed it out right away. It spent the night in a back of rice ... it works 90%. The home button is a little finicky (doesn't always want to click back to the next screen), Facebook updates are popping up, and I can call out an hear the other person - but they can't hear me. Is there hope if I leave it in a bag of rice for the weekend? Any other ideas?
The main reason I am mad is that I stopped at the AT&T store yesterday right after it happened. I was informed that the Applecare plan I purchased doesn't cover water damage. But I am 99% sure when I bought the plan that I was told it DID cover water damage. When I decided to purchase the extra coverage I used the example of a couple years ago when I unfortunately ran a Blackberry through the washing machine and asked if that would be covered. I KNOW he said that would be covered ... or in the least, strongly led me to believe it would be covered to the point where I decided to purchase the Applecare plan. Do I have any recourse if I feel I was mislead into buying the Applecare coverage???
Thanks for any advice! Kris

Don't let those replies get to you .... I find these the Apple forums very rude.
I have no doubt that the AT&T person led you to believe that water damage would be covered. Best case scenario, they were simply uneducated about the plan and accidently gave you misleading verbal information. More likely, they wanted the commission.
I live in Canada, and when I called Bell for satellite TV, I specifically asked twice if I would be locked into a contract and I was told no, twice. I called back and the second person ran around the issue, but finally admitted yes there was a two year contract. Moral of the story and despite the rude reply, gdgmacguy is right ... read it for yourself in writing before committing.
Did you happen to pay for the iPhone with a credit card? A lot of credit cards have built in insurance that includes extended warranties accidental loss or breakage?
As for the rice, try the weekend or even a week. I have dropped a cell phone in the water before (not an iPhone). I ended up replacing it, but took it apart and let it dry anyway. After I dropped my replacement in the water (I know shut up) I reassembled the first one and it worked. Using the iPhone while still wet inside may damage it further. Give it a very good chance to dry before trying again.

1000v and possible issue for data storage firmware upgradation

Hi all,
We have IBM N series storage controller which provide storage to esxi4.1.We have hosted out primary and secondary VSM for 1000V deployment on this ESXi4.1.
We need to upgrade the storage firmware and I like to know if their is any possible impact on my 1000V.
As this is a outage change [becuse of storage will bring dowm] i like to know why precautionary measure will be taken so that my nexus 1000v remain un affectted because of this storage controller upgradation change.
If their is any link available for refference .
Thanks in advance.

Since your storage is going down completely you will need to power off the n1k. Here are things You can do to minimize the impact of this:
1) ensure your running config matches your startup config (show run, show start)
2) ensure your system VLANS are configured correctly. Namely make the follow VLANS are system VLANS on your eths/veths that carry them: ESXi management, vCenter management, VSM management, control, packet, any storage VLAN (iSCSI or NFS)
3) make sure the VSMs have their reservations set correctly in ESX so they don't have to worry about resources during boot
Alternatively if you have a host with ESX installed on local storage you could migrate the VSMS over to that, storage vMotion the VSMS onto local storage and keep it running during the outage (though you should still verify your system VLANS)

Scion IPOD Integration Question and Safety Issue

I have a 2007 Scion TC with the factory pioneer stereo with ipod connection and control from the stereo buttons.
Does anyone know how to fix the problem where when you start scrolling through which song/album you want to select, and then you take a couple of moments to actually drive, the thing resets to the beginning and you have to start all over? This actually forces you to try to keep controlling it if you started to select something new at a stoplight because you don't want to start from the beginning. This is a usability and safety concern and I could see them getting sued for this if someone wrecked.
Max

I can pretty much guarantee that Apple would like to know about your experience, as this is at least a potential safety thing. Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iPod in to an Apple retail store for evaluation.
Best of luck.

Real life technical and business issues--FICO--implementation

Hello,
Can someone please give some real-life Technical and Business issues and problems faced by FICO consultant in different-different phases of implementation (asap)? please provide from basic to critical examples?
Thanks,
Amit
Moderator: Please, respect the rules of the forum

What you are asking is very project specific.
Try to do the following:
1. Ask for the detailed business requirements
2. Ask for the design documents. Usually, there will be bunch of documents that got documented when the project team made the design. There must be documents like conceptual / high level design, detailed / low level design, ABAP specifications, report specifications, etc.
3. The design documents will contian other things, DATA FLOW DIAGRAM. Here in this diagram, you will see where the data comes and how it gets processed and transformed when the data reaches BW.
4. Ask for your access to the develoment system or the sandbox ( where you can play around without affecting anybody's work).
5. With the data fliow, you keep reviewing the objects in BW and also in the source system.
6. Even if you dont get access to dev or sandbox, you cans till view the objects in display mode.
7. Open the query designer and see how the variables are defined and how formulas are defined and how the restricted key figures are defined.
8. In production system, go to SM37 and see the jobs that are scheduled.
9. Try and co ordinate weekly calls with your team members and this is the place where ideas and problems will be shared.
If you have specific questions ot need some specific help, dont hesitate to send me a note. My email is [email protected]
Best luck,

WTC Questions and Answers

Here are some common WTC questions and answers:
Q1: What is the transaction story for WTC between WLS and Tuxedo and how
does it differ from Jolt?
A1: In version 1.0 of WTC transactions may be started in WLS and will
"infect" Tuxedo with the same transaction. That implies that there is one
and only one commit coordinator, and that is in WLS. In version 1.0 of WTC
transactions originating
in Tuxedo via WTC is not supported. In version 1.1 of WTC transactions from
Tuxedo into WLS via WTC can be used, but only in Beta mode, as we will not
have done the required QA of "inbound" transactions. In order to use
inbound transactions in WTC 1.1 you will need to turn on the use of beta
features with an attribute called "UseBetaFeatures" on the WTC Startup class
in WLS.
This differs from Jolt in that while Jolt can start transactions in Tuxedo,
these transactions are not coordinated with anything in WLS. Hence it is
impossible to do a 2 phase commit which involves WLS resources and Tuxedo
resources with Jolt. Since Jolt does not have any means of invoking WLS
services transactions in that direction do not make sense.
Q2. How does the security mapping work?
A2: WLS and Tuxedo can share the same set of users (though they may be
administered differently in the two systems) and the users can propagate
their credentials from one system to the other. For example, if John Wells
logs into WLS then the services which he invokes in Tuxedo will have all of
the ACL permissions of John Wells as defined on the Tuxedo side.
Furthermore, if Jolene User logs into Tuxedo then any resources she attempts
to access in WLS via WTC will be checked against Jolene User's rights in WLS
land.
In order to accomplish this, a few things need to be set up:
1. You must be using Tuxedo 7.1 or Tuxedo 8.0 for this to work. Tuxedo 6.5
did not have the security infrastructure necessary to make this happen.
2. In your BDMCONFIG on the Tuxedo side you will need to set ACL_POLICY and
CREDENTIAL_POLICY to "GLOBAL" for the WLS remote domain. ACL_POLICY
controls whether or not a domain accepts credentials coming from a remote
domain and CREDENTIAL_POLICY controls whether or not we send credentials to
a remote domain. (In Tuxedo 7.1 there was no CREDENTIAL_POLICY - we always
sent the credentials to the remote domain).
3. In your BDMCONFIG on the WLS side you must likewise specify <ACL_POLICY>
and <CREDENTIAL_POLICY> to be "GLOBAL."
4. On the WLS side you must also configure a <TpUsrFile> which will point
to a file of the exact same format as the tpusr file generated by the
various Tuxedo commands to add and delete users. (Which also happens to be
of the same format as the unix /etc/passwd file). WTC needs this file
because in WLS users do not have user identification numbers or group
identification numbers. Hence we need a way to map WLS users into the
standard Tuxedo UID/GID appkey.
Voila! You have now set up your system such that users logged into either
system can be given access privelidges in the other system. This is known
as single sign-on. We are currently working on a way to better integrate
the two user databases between WLS and Tuxedo, and one day we will have
single administration and single-sign on!
Q3: How is the performance of WTC?
A3: Obviously, results will vary based on your machine, CPU, application
(i.e., transactions/no transactions) etc...
However, in the performance lab here we have seen WTC perform at levels that
nearly equal Tuxedo in a similar configuration. The performance is equal to
or better than Jolt, and will scale much better than Jolt because of the
concentration of network bandwidth.
Q4: What fail-over/fail-back mechanisms are there in WTC?
A4: WTC has many of the same fail-over fail-back mechanisms which /T
domains had. Any service can be offered by multiple remote domains, and if
a domain link is down we will attempt all of the backup domains. In /T
domains there was a limit of three backup remote domains, but in WTC there
is no limit to the number of backup domains you can configure for a service.
Furthermore, we support the connection policies of ON_STARTUP, ON_DEMAND and
INCOMING_ONLY. If the policy is ON_STARTUP then you can also configure a
retry interval and max-retries. We will attempt to connect to ON_STARTUP
remote domains every retry interval for a maximum number of retries before
giving up. If a domain is configured as ON_STARTUP or INCOMING_ONLY and the
connection is not currently established then no services will be routed to
that remote domain.
Q5: What support features are available in WTC?
A5: WTC has a tracing feature which can be enabled dynamically. If a
customer reports a problem, support will likely ask the customer to turn
tracing on and send a log file. This tracing facility has several levels of
severity and can also help debug WTC applications. It is turned on by
setting TraceLevel in the WTC startup class. The following are the defined
levels:
10000 - TBRIDGE Input/Output
15000 - TBRIDGE extra information
20000 - Gateway Input/Output (this will trace the ATMI verbs)
25000 - Gateway extra information
50000 - JATMI Input/Output (this will trace the low-level jatmi calls)
55000 - JATMI extra information
60000 - CORBA Input/Output (this will trace CORBA calls)
65000 - CORBA extra information
Q6: Will Jolt be deprecated?
A6: No. There are some features of Jolt that are not covered by WTC. For
example, the Jolt registry API are not supported by WTC. Furthermore WTC
must run in conjunction with WLS, while Jolt can be run from Applets or from
free-standing Java applications.
Q7: What about JCA? Is WTC a JCA adapter?
A7: WTC is not a JCA adapter. JCA does not define semantics for inbound
invokations into the JCA container, but WTC allows for Tuxedo clients to
invoke WLS EJBs. However, the jATMI object interactions are based on the
JCA client model. BEA is currently evaluating several JCA strategies for
connections into Tuxedo.

Q8. What versions of Tuxedo are supported?
A8. WTC 1.0 will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. WTC 1.1 (which adds
CORBA support) will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. Soon after the
release of both of these products we will certify WTC with Tuxedo 7.1.
However, the version of Tuxedo 7.1 you will need to have will be Tuxedo 7.1
after a certain patch level, which I don't know the number of yet. I will
attempt to keep the public informed about which patch level will be required
in Tuxedo 7.1
Q9. What WLS Releases will be supported?
A9. WTC 1.0 will be certified on WLS 6.0 SP2, WTC 1.1 will be bundled with
WLS SilverSword release (6.1?)
Q10. How will WTC be packaged?
A10. WTC 1.0 will be a separately downloaded binary (one for unix, one for
NT) that the user will have to install and configure in his/her WLS
environment. (Configuration will consist of putting the jatmi.jar file into
the classpath (as well as the normal BDMCONFIG configuration, of course)).
WTC 1.1 will be bundled right in there with the WLS SilverSword release.
Q11. When will WTC go live (no more beta)?
A11. This is a question for Jeff Cutler, but my impression is that WTC 1.0
will be shipped in the same time-frame as the Tuxedo 8.0 release and
obviously (see A10) WTC 1.1 will be shipped with WLS SilverSword.

I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately" So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

I got this flashing question mark, i did some research into this and found out that the hard drive is the cause

i recently found my ibook and decided to see if it would still turn on. it did but i got this flashing question mark, i did some research into this and found out that the hard drive is the cause. so i opened it up replaced the hard drive and closed it up, booted from the disc and crossed my fingers but it did not pick up the hard drive. i thought it might not have been installed properly, so i opened it up to check the connections to make shure they were secure and closed it back up but now it wont even boot from the disc. so dose anyone know whats wrong with it because i really don't just want throw it away if its a simple fix. please if anyone know i would greatly appreciate it.
<Re-Titled By Host>

There often were more than one build of Apple computer per model number designation...
In the instance of iBook (white dualUSB) there appear to be two with number A-1007.
And both of these were 14-inch display models.
•iBook G3/800 14-Inch (32 VRAM - Tr) 800 MHz PowerPC 750fx (G3)
•iBook G3/900 14-Inch (Early 2003 - Op) 900 MHz PowerPC 750fx (G3)
•Apple iBook Specs (All iBook Technical Specs) for entire series - everymac:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
There are a few fairly good repair guides online, some on http://iFixit.com site.
Here's the link to the early iBook G3 series, includes color + white dualUSB.
If your iBook is a 14-inch G3 white dualUSB model that one is there, too:
•iBook G3 Repair guides - iFixit:
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iBook_G3
Either of these may be able to run a system no later than OS X Tiger 10.4.11.
So a system install disc set could be used to troubleshoot, install, restore &
prepare a replacement hard drive for a new system.
Not certain what the issues are behind your situation, there may be more than
meets the eye. Some models of iBook were more prone to hardware problems
and as they age, fewer opportunities to affordably repair them exist.
Good luck in resolving the iBook G3 issues...!

10.3.5 sluggish on my iMac (and some other newbie questions)...

I just purchased an iMac, and am brand-new to Macs. I can do anything on a PC, and actually do PC tech support for a living, so you can imagine that I feel completely ridiculous asking some of these questions, but here goes:
1. How do I copy and paste? Ctrl+C does not work.... surely there is another alternative?
2. Is there a way I can download OE for Mac? I know Microsoft no longer offers downloads or support, but if there is another place I could find ol'familiar Outlook Express, that would be fantastic.
3. My browser (either IE or Safari) is not completely maximized. There's the area below, and an area to the side with some icons as well... is this the maximum size of the browser, or...?
4. Right now I'm running OS 10.3.5, which seems a bit sluggish. It came installed. I also have the discs for 8.6, and if it will make the system run better, I'll definitely ''downgrade.'' How would I do this? Do I have to ''reformat'' or anything like that?
5. Are there other tweaks, sort of like MSCONFIG, that will help speed up my system in general?
Here are my system stats:
iMac (Grape!), 333MHz, 6GB Harddrive, 196 MB RAM...
It's a G3 CRT, I think (if that matters).
Any help would be so much appreciated!

Hello Tiffany,
First of all, Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
In regards to your #4, I would just suggest running Software Update (after upgrading the RAM memory if possible) and upgrading to the latest version of 10.3 that should be offered to you, ie. 10.3.9). As the other posters have suggested above you should upgrade your RAM to at least 256 MB. With any updates to system software, remember to Repair Permissions from Disk Utility found at HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility before and after the update.
There are many "tweaks" and troubleshooting information for OS X that you can perform to get the best from your OS and machine.
Some great information can be found @:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
A great tip, as your machine has a very small amount of Disk space is to run a little app called Delocalizer that will free up alot of space taken from Foriegn language files. The link to it can be found in Dr. Smoke's FAQ for "Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk".
hope that helps some,
littleshoulders [:-)
