Please check out my website and give me feedback

Hey you iWeb Jedi's -- please check out my web page and give me your opinions -- especially you Star Trek fans out there.

One problem I'm having is find the perfect streaming settings for the movies. I did check them on a fast Windows machine and on a brand new Mac at the local CompUSA store. Things worked well on their very fast Internet connection but the longer concept video didn't seem to want to stream. I'm almost thinking to grab some JumpCut or YouTube code and insert it just to get it to work. I know this will put their logos in but I'm just not sure what to do.
One thing I'm aware of and something I did do on purpose is that I made the background images very large -- to accomodate those wealthy folks with the very big, very wide monitors. I wanted never to run out of background "virtual" world no matter how big one stretched the browser window. Also, the necessity to scroll was intentional. Let me know if this is too annoying.
Appreciate any expert helpful comments and feedback on improvements.
No I won't update to 10.4.9! Mac OS X (10.4.8) I said no!

Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).

Hi,
Our Environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and working on Essbase EAS and Shared Services components.One of our user tried to run the Cal Script of one Application and faced this error.
Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
I have done some Google and found that we need to add something in Essbase.cfg file like below.
1012704 Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than number ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry (a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
Possible Problems
Analytic Services could not lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.
Possible Solutions
Increase the number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate for a calculation:
Set the maximum number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate to at least 500.
If you do not have an $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg file on the server computer, create one using a text editor.
In the essbase.cfg file on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
Stop and restart Analytic Server.
Add the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH command to the beginning of the calculation script.
Set the data cache large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH setting.
Determine the block size.
Set the data catche size.
Actually in our Server Config file(essbase.cfg) we dont have below data added.
CalcLockBlockHigh 2000
CalcLockBlockDefault 200
CalcLockBlocklow 50
So my doubt is if we edit the Essbase.cfg file and add the above settings and restart the services will it work? and if so why should we change the Server config file if the problem is with one application Cal Script. Please guide me how to proceed.
Regards,
Naveen

Your calculation needs to hold more blocks in memory than your current set up allows.
From the docs (quoting so I don't have to write it, not to be a smarta***:
CALCLOCKBLOCK specifies the number of blocks that can be fixed at each level of the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH | DEFAULT | LOW calculation script command.
When a block is calculated, Essbase fixes (gets addressability to) the block along with the blocks containing its children. Essbase calculates the block and then releases it along with the blocks containing its children. By default, Essbase allows up to 100 blocks to be fixed concurrently when calculating a block. This is sufficient for most database calculations. However, you may want to set a number higher than 100 if you are consolidating very large numbers of children in a formula calculation. This ensures that Essbase can fix all the required blocks when calculating a data block and that performance will not be impaired.
Example
If the essbase.cfg file contains the following settings:
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 500 CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 200 CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 50
then you can use the following SET LOCKBLOCK setting commands in a calculation script:
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
means that Essbase can fix up to 500 data blocks when calculating one block.
Support doc is saying to change your config file so those settings can be made available for any calc script to use.
On a side note, if this was working previously and now isn't then it is worth investigating if this is simply due to standard growth or a recent change that has made an unexpected significant impact.

MacBook Pro (mid 2009), strange display problem

Hello everybody,
This is my first post here, so thanks everybody who will read my post.
In February 2010 I bought two MacBook Pro 13 inch, for me and my girlfriend. Both of them are still working awesome, just one of them seems to develop a problem. I will try to detail it here, just that it's pretty strange even to explain.
When I look close to the screen, in seems that the colors in the images (web page elements, photos and so on) are not smooth (when changing from one color to other) rather they have very sharp edges. Next, when I look at the open menus (ex. the Apple menu in the left corner) it has some horizontal tiny lines. More, when I move the mouse over some elements (like the icons in the bar) some small square appears (like a net). I did reload the Mac and I was able to stop the same small squares over the Mac logo while booting. They are bearly visible, but for sure are there as I compare with the other Mac which has no such problems. This small squares net can be seem all over desktop and it seems that it flickers at around 2 seconds (there, not there, there...)
I know that it may be hard for you to understand, so later I will try to add a screen capture, if you don't understand my issue.
I do not have this issue if I connect an external monitor! So, I don't believe is from the graphic card / chipset.
If anybody encounter this kind of problems please give me an advice. Please consider the following:
- I'm pretty good with technical stuff, so don't be shy to give technical details
- I don't have Apple Care
- I have been already to two authorized centres (I live in quite a small town in Austria); one told me that they will open in 3-4 months, the other told me that they can send it to Vienna, but it will take about a month and will be very expensive around 700-750 euro (aprox. 800-850$). How they know it will be expensive if they don't know the issue?!. I assume that they mean full replacement of the display, but in this case I would rather sell it for spare parts and buy a newer one
- There is another authorized repairing centre at about 60 km from my city, I will try to make them a visit tomorrow, still I would glad if somebody can give me a hint.
- As I extended the memory in my Mac (2GB to 4GB) I know the layout inside the unibody case, just if you want to tell me to check some cables (btw, this with the memory upgraded is the one working, the other one was never opened or technically touched in any way).
Thank you all and have a nice day!

OK, if anybody is curious, here is the outcome. I took the device to an Apple authorized repairing center and they told me that the display it's the problem. I didn't get details (but I'll ask when I'll pickup my device) if the LCD was damaged, or some cables, but they said the whole display need to be replaced.
The prices (in Euro, but you can make the conversion)
- the initial checkup and problem identification: 80 Euro (I have to pay this only if I choose not to repair the device at their service)
- the repairing (display + work): 500 Euro
Not to happy to pay such an amount of money but what can I do?
Nevertheless I want to believe that this was somehow bad luck, as I have more than four Apple devices that run just fine.
Best regards,
Calin

Problem to check out object in siebel 8.1, using Windows Vista

Hi people,
i'm quite new to siebel and recently, i am supposed to start developing applets and BCs. The problem is, i cant check out object from the server. whenever i hit the button Check Out, the system (Siebel 8.1) is hang and stop responding. Can anyone help me on this? Thank you so much.
Zaly#

Hi,
i've tried both ODBC, SSD Default instance and SSD Local Db default instance. Both yielded same result, which the connection is successful. But for SSD Default Instance, whenever i tried to hit the button 'Test Connect' for 2nd time or more, it will stop responding and hang. Only the first time is succesful.
I really dont have the idea how the problem occurs. but it works well if i do check out in computer that runs on window XP. Is the problem comes because i'm using vista?

Filename problems when checking out documents

Hi,Client machines are using Windows NT4 SP6 and Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106CO. Environment is Plumtree 4.5 SP1, Collab Server 2.02.We have an issue whereby when users check out documents with periods in the filename, the default filename for the downloaded file is different from the original.Eg. If a document named test 0.1.docis uploaded, when this file is checked out, Internet Explorer will try and save it at test (0)0.1.doc. This means that users have to either manually change the filename in the Save As dialog box, or rename the file to it's correct name before checking it back in.Is this an issue Plumtree is aware of, and is there a workaround or fix?Thanks.Mun

Further investigation into this problem shows it does not occur when downloading using a straight A link. Eg. Internet Explorer does not change the filename if excutable 0.1.exe is used; only when downloading through Plumtree (checking out files).This is Plumtree Collaboration Server core functionality.Can anyone from Plumtree shed any light on this?Cheers,Mun

Possible problems with Check out and Open Component and delayed publishing

Hi,
I've experienced some seemingly wrong behaviors of the checkout and open component and also with the delayed publishing feature, I've listed it down :
1) The all important one:
We know we've delayed publishing features for content, if we set the Release Date metadata at a future date, the content will not be released immediately, but do we have a delayed publishing features for a website page. Through manage website the user can add / delete a page(section), may do include or exclude from navigation etc.. but can they set a future date when a particular page can be included in or excluded from navigation? This should be a standard feature for a WCM solution and I hope there is some solution for sure.
2) Can we set a datefield with a calendar feature as a page custom (section) property?
3) Again the issue with checkout and open component, only the user with admin privilege seems to be able to change the content, normal contributors cannot, cause every time is tries to check in with the old author name, so the user has to have admin privilege to assign a different doc author's name. No trace also who is making the changes.
4) Also facing a lot of problems while trying to implement when we use this checkout and open component. As we cannot check who is making the change there is to way to set us a step for self review, also user can only approve or reject but cannot edit the doc before passing it to the next step, if the step user is created using tokens then only checking out of the doc takes it pass the step user, but everything is working perfect with contributor data file. No problem whatsoever. Even if we use manual check out and then check in (i mean without using checkout and open component) this is working fine. But the main problem with non-technical users will be they would not like the content server portal at all and they would always prefer ms word over anything else. They would directly like to double-click on the website page, the word doc will pop up and they would make change and save.
Issue 1 and 4 are killer issues for us, I need your help to find a solution. I have few more issues that i will post later.
Regards,
Nirmalya

Hey Shotdawq,
I was a bit low on bandwidth, so could not visit the forum any sooner.DIS is dynamic integration studio, it works on the webdav protocol.
you will need to install DIS on the client machines. The POC that i did was integration of SiteStudio with CheckOutAndOpenInNative.
I am also planning to referenc this functionality from WebSphere, what i have in my mind is to copy the java script from my sitestudio page and paste
it in the JSP, and then using the CIS or RIDC will execute the serverices. At present i am stuck in some other work, If i get this thing working i will
update you. In the meanwhile if you have some question for me, feel free to throw them.
cheers,

Mac Pro has strange display problems

Hello,
i have a strange problem with my new Mac Pro.
since maybe 1 week the 2 TFT Displays, connected to the nvidia Geforce 7300 GT went black for 2-5 seconds. The 2 Screens display "No signal" during that time.
Is there a way to test my GFX Card ?
any other ideas howto debug that problem at all ?
I am in warranty, but from my point of view, iwant to check first myself, if there is a method to do so.
Best regards
fidel

Hi,
i am going to test the One display test. Thx for this idea
Regarding Monitor Model:
ViewSonic, VX 924
http://www.viewsoniceurope.com/de/Products/LCDX/VX924.htm
Both monitors are connected directly, without any adapters. So no sub-d, only DVI usage.
Regarding AHT:
Is it supposed to check GFX cards too ?
Regarding SMC/PRAM/NVRAM:
I am kinda new to OS X. Could you explain me that in a more detailed way please ?
Regarding 101:
Cant find that point in the 101 page
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
thank you very much for the input so far, i am going to test the things, could take some time as i am away for some weeks now. Thank you both.

Very strange display problem just started

Hi ... I'm wondering if anyone can help with a strange problem I've just started to experience.
I'm running Win XP via Bootcamp. All had previously worked absolutely fine -- until today. Whenever I boot into Windows, I get past the welcome screen, my desktop appears for about 1-2 seconds, then -- boom -- goes black.
Totally black screen -- no cursor or anything.
Windows is still running, I can tell -- and if I press keys, I know they are working still (eg. can still shut down/restart through key combos). But the display is totally gone.
I'd used Boot Camp without problems yesterday -- but the last thing I did was shut down and install updates. So presumably something in the latest windows update has clobbered the display in some way. But I have no idea what, or how to solve the problem.
Further info:
If I F8 boot into VGA mode, exactly the same thing happens.
I've also F8 booted into safe mode and disabled the graphics card driver (ATI card) then rebooted into normal and still the same problem occurs.
I'd be hugely, hugely grateful for help, as I'm at my wits' end here ... Thanks

Ah, so you have a first-gen model from the looks of it. If I might make a suggestion, please update your tagline as follows to assist others in helping you:
MBP (Early 2006)
You can expand upon this as you like.
Perhaps I wasn't reading the original post, but what version of Windows were you running at the time?
As I recall, that model line of MacBook Pros needed an EFI firmware update to operate Boot Camp. Before the mid-2006 speed bump, these models also needed an SMC firmware patch. With the EFI update, your "Boot ROM revision" should be MBP11.0055.B08
If you can boot to Safe Mode, try using the Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features applet in your Control Panel to uninstall the ATI driver properly. Should that fail, search out "ATI Catalyst Uninstaller" using your favorite Web crawler. The first thing to come up should be AMD's uninstall tool, which you can then run to get rid of the driver.
Once you've done this, reinstall the ATI software from your Leopard/Boot Camp DVD and re-run the Boot Camp 2.1 patch from the Web; this should properly update the ATI software and get you back on track.
We would also need to rule out whether a recent update caused this issue, in which case rolling back to a prior restore point may help. You may lose documents created between the restore point time and the present, but this is normal.
The only other possibility I can suggest is to rebuild your entire Boot Camp setup and take notes as you get back up to the point where the blackout occurred. This way, you'll have some documentation handy whether you repost here or contact Apple directly.
Good luck,
Nate

Strange audio problem please help!

Hi, I was recording audio with Logic and a usb audio interface (m-audio). Then, I unplugged the usb cable and I selected to use core audio. I closed Logic. I noticed that the volume controls (up and down) are no longer available and inside sys pref. there's optical out selected (the only available). There's also a red light coming from the port (I'm assuming is the optical out). If I plug in the hearphones everything works fine. What can I do in order to have audio played from speakers again?
Please help!

Update: I followed some instructions I found on a blog and I managed to solve the problem. I inserted a paperclip inside the jack output port and I pushed it for a while. Suddenly, inside sys pref. the output changed from "optical out" to integrated output. It's very strange, anyway I think it's a good idea to go to my Apple Store to check if the soundcard has some problems... The MacBook is still under warranty so...
Any comment would be appreciated, bye!

IPhone 3g white - Strange Display Problem

As you look in the photo, it has some strange line not regular around the "ear hole" (sorry the interpretation, I mean where you put your era to answer )
The phone is always in the socks and it never fall down.
I use it very carefully..
I don't know why there is this signs.
They don't appear in the same time but in 1 week.
Please help me.

hello italian friend!
the people who sold you the device, upon looking at it and realizing it has a defect, should provide you a replacement one, no need to waste too much time and energy trying to get in touch with Apple! After all, you are under warranty through your contract with your cell phone provider first and foremost!
Good luck

N96 strange display problem plz help

hello,
my N96's display is not working a white thick line is coming at the right side of the screen and other screen area is black + fizzy , i had "camera feature not supported problem " with my N96 from two days till display also got problem,, i was running APP UPDATE for nokia from mobile and then after restart lcd blank i have also
replaced lcd and strip + display IC's
no success
Please any help will be appreciated .. Thanks ,,

This is a known (and very annoying) bug with the N96.
Hopefully they will fix it in the next software update. The exact date of this update is unknown but shouldn't be too far away.
It is also unknown if this update will actually fix the problem or not.
You should complain to nokia using the "contact us" link near the top of the page. The more people that complain the more likely they are to fix it.

Strange display problem

My MacBook Pro does this every once in a while:
http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs31/f/2008/188/c/1/What_s_up_with_this__byuilleanngirl.png
http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs31/f/2008/188/8/f/Andthis_byuilleanngirl.png
This colorful distortion sort of follows my cursor around and flits about the screen... Everything still works, but it's hard to see things, to put it mildly. Restarting the computer fixes it for a while. It's only happened about three times, with about a month or two between times. Those screenshots are from July 6, and it's just done it again tonight. It seems to happen when I'm playing a video of some sort (the first two times it was in iTunes, this time it was youtube) but nowhere near every time. I can't duplicate it on command.
After last time I created a troubleshooting user account, and turned on fast user switching so that next time it happened I could see if it was happening in that account to. So tonight I tried that, and yes, it was indeed there too, though to a lesser extent.
Also, it started happening soon after I replaced the battery, but I don't imagine that's the cause, is it?
So, is this a known issue, and if so, how bad is it and what can I do about it? Thanks.

If you look through the MBP forum you'll see several threads where people have complained about display-related issues. Some are the weird abstract art kind of thing similar to what you've got, others claim to have a 'rippled' effect while scrolling, and some people have the dreaded black screen of death (e.g.: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1478474&tstart=15 )
Some people speculate that this is related to the defective Nvidia chip issue (you'll find several threads on that topic as well). The fact that you're graphics card is coming up as X1300 instead of the Nvidia 8600 seems to suggest that this may be the root of your problem (read through the link above and you'll see others reporting having an 'X1300' as well).
You should probably first call Apple and describe your problem. Some people were offered a repair despite being a few weeks out of warranty, others had to be more forceful in requesting a free repair by pointing out that they heard about the Nvidia GPU issue. Some people were basically told they were SOL and would have to pay to get it fixed. Thus, the responses are not entirely consistent. I think people have said you'll have better luck calling Apple Customer Service than the Apple Care Tech Support.
If you can't get a satisfactory resolution from Apple, try to remember if you bought the computer with your credit card. If so, you might have automatic warranty extension coverage through your credit card company (most likely an additional year). You'll probably need your receipts and such to prove you actually bought the computer.
Hope that helps.

Strange iChat problem, please help.

I just bought a macbook with Mac OS X 10.4.10
It has iChat AV 3.1.8 on it. The problem is kind of strange to me. The problem seems to be intermittent. When it works it works fine. But when it doesn't pretty much doesnt show who is online correctly everytime I logout and then log back in it shows completely differnt people online. Sometimes it doesnt show anybody online. Also if i try to chat the message i send goes the intended person however it doesnt show on my screen that i have sent nor does it show the replies i get from the message. It only shows that they reply if i logout. Kinda of like the information is there but its not displayed until i logout of iChat.

Hi,
Short Answer: It works.
Long answer:-
It's not so much that there is anything wrong with port 5190.
It is more to do with what manufacturers are now doing with "features" for their modems and routers.
Nowadays some ask you to specify port AND Protocols when port Forwarding.
routing devices have never allowed a port to be forward twice (normally to two different computers) but iChat uses both the UDP and TCP protocol on port 5190 and this seems to upset some devices.
Now iChat logs on to the AIM servers on port 5190 (normal default for any AIM based client). It does this on the TCP protocol.
Now AIM and iChat use the port 5190 on the UDP protocol for running group chat/chatrooms and file sending (this includes those files and pics you send in Text chats).
If you send files and pics in a 1-1 chat iChat makes the Chat a Direct chat (Peer to Peer on port 5190 UDP)
So if you and your Buddy are trying to do this and one of you has a routing device that does not like port 5190 being used twice you can see the problem.
You can log on to the AIM server and virtually any port.
We suggest that you pick one below the 1024 threshold (which is where the above problem will occur and hence we suggest port 443 as it is normally used for secure mail.

4.6 strange display problem

You can see in the image above that the display of the game is offsetted by some amount vertically. The white section is not supposed to be there. In fact the blue is meant to be flush with the bottom of the screen.
This happened by making two changes to a previously perfectly working project: change the SDK to the new 4.6 Flex release candidate including 3.2 air player with support for Stage3d. The other change is in the Air Application Descriptor file: changed the xmlns to end in number 3.2 instead of 2.6. Nothing else has changed. In fact, if I revert to the 4.5.1 SDK, the graphics show as expected.
I have looked for a couple of hours for a solution, but I haven't found anything...
OS: mac
IDE: Flash Builder 4.6 trial
Device: the Flash Builder device simulator, but also seen on a real device
Application settings: fullscreen, landscape, renderMode=direct/gpu (same thing), size: 1024x600
Stage alignment: TOP_LEFT
Stage scaling: none
Project type: Mobile ActionScript
As I said, just the fact of changing to 4.6 introduced the problem and I can toggle it at will be reverting to 4.5.1, so the code hasn't changed. I can add that the white section in the graphic is actually a repeat of the last row of pixels (bleed basically) all the way to the bottom of the screen. With other graphics, that section changes - so not always white.
Thanks for any tips

I received a tip that setting the fullscreen app variable in the application descriptor file to 'false' instead of the normal 'true' for a game will solve the problem while you are developing on the desktop. It works. Thanks Matt.
