I must say that Sun really needs to do something about dbx and fbe stability. The code is probably unchanged from the days of Forte and it shows. It has been unstable and prone to segfaults, strange symbol table malfunctioning/misreadings and other annoyances since I can remember using it. I've used dbx since the RWCString days of Forte 4.2 and every release in between at several different firms on several different hardware platforms and every version of Solaris since it was called SunOS and every single one of them experienced the same pattern of problems with dbx. Several simply switched to g++/gdb, reasoning that optimized binaries are worth very little when a slight change to a template can result in your binary becoming unreadable by dbx, often times unnoticed by you until it is far too late and you have a
The linker too seems to be very quirky and sometimes downright unreliable. I feel like if I have the audicity to write a C++ template longer than a few lines, either fbe, dbx, CC or several of them may crash at any point during the developmet process or, heaven forbid, when you need to debug a production core file.
My problems started yesterday when I decided to upgrade to Studio 12 after seeing that it was supposedly more compatible with boost, especially the latest 1.34 release. Those hopes were soon dashed as one out of every two random build variances combinations appear to cause either CC or the linker to seg fault. Apparently, this is a known issue which I was able to work around by lowering the optimization level from -x04 to -x01.
Now, it appears a couple of my binaries built by studio 12 are simply undebuggable by studio 12. The irony of course is the least stable tool in sun studio is the debugger.
I apologize for the complaining as I am quite frustrated at the moment. I love studio for its optimizing but simply having the piece of mind that the debugger will work when needed would be lov

  • Is the SAVE system unstable ?

    Hello
    I'm using illustrator cs4 a lot everyday, and invariably, it will CRASH when i save at least a couple of time per day.
    It is true that i am running photoshop, flash, firework and dreamweaver at the same time, but the probleme still happen a lot when i'm only using illustrator.. I've tested a couple of possible solution ( reseting the preference on ALL adobe software )..
    It mostly happen when i've done a big work and i wanted to save... usually because i often forget to save just in case of thing like that.. you know.. when you are focused on your task...
    And starting today, Illustrator got a new probleme : the save take at least 30 SECONDES before saying anything, and during that time the software is just frozen. Even for a very small file ( less than 500Kb)
    So i though about maybe there was a lot of thing running in the background of windows so.. i restarted the computer ( Cold start, not just a regular restart ) but both the probleme are still there.

    Any idea ?.. Beside a full reinstall of all adobe software ?

    Windows XP Pro in general became rather unstable as it relates to Adobe Creative Suite 4 so I upgraded to a new computer running Windows Vista (Windows 7 wasn't out yet) and it's the 64-bit edition of Vista.  Now I will be able to take advantage of all that CS5 has to offer in terms of 64-bit addressing once I upgrade to that version of Adobe CS.  I think you may have a corruption in Windows XP.

  • C# Templates for Visual studio

    Im told I should be able to load the C# templates in Visual studio, but I dont see them listed and trying to find them "online" doesn't get me what im looking for. Just starting to program in C# so all I really want to do is start creating some
    test programs and learn.
    Does anybody know how I can get these templetes so I can start programming in C#?

    Hi Arthagus6234,
    To use C# templates, please ensure that you have installed the full version of visual studio rather than visual studio shell which is included in SQL Server installation.
    However, if C# templates is missing from full version of visual studio, you can type devenv /installvstemplates from visual studio command prompt to get missing templates or repair Visual Studio installation to solve the issue. Please check the following
    links for reference.

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20823499/visual-studio-2013-no-visual-basic-visual-c-sharp-web-templates-installed
    If the issue still persists, I would like to recommend you post the question in the  Visual Studio Setup and Installation  forum at
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup.  It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

  • E71 Linux Information, likes, and dislikes

    The E71 is a fairly cool phone, but it took me a little while to get things working well with Linux after upgrading from my Motorola v3xx. To avoid other people having to figure things out, here's my info, and later in this a list of likes and dislikes.
    Bluetooth
    The E71 works fine with bluetooth. I bonded the device to my computer with the instructions at http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2007/12/10/using-a-bluetooth-phone-with-linux
    After installing the software, I made my phone non-hidden, did:
    hcitool scan
    Scanning ...
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Corey's Phone
    then got the address (the xx:xx... part). Then I did:
    obexftp -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -l
    and it asked on the phone for a passcode, then on the computer. Enter the same 4-digit number in both places. Now you are bonded. You can use obexftp to poke around in the phone.
    All fine and dandy, but I also use my phone as a tether to get to the Internet. That's when I ran into my first problem. You use:
    sdptool browse xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    to find the RFCOMM channel to use for dial up, but there's a bunch and I chose the wrong one. After hunting some more, I found out that channel 2 was aptly named "Dial-Up Networking". Set the right channel in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:
    rfcomm0 {
    # Automatically bind the device at startup
    bind yes;
    # Bluetooth address of the device
    device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
    # RFCOMM channel for the connection
    channel 2;
    # Description of the connection
    comment "Nokia E71";
    restart bluetooth with /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart, and voila, /dev/rfcomm0 appears and it's a PPP dialup. So my PPP scripts to dial into AT&T worked perfectly. You can hunt on the internet for various scripts for this, or I can post one if someone needs it, though it would only work for AT&T.
    USB
    Now for USB. It's kind of ironic, but the high-speed data from AT&T is actually faster than the bluetooth data rate. Kind of sucks. So I tether the phone with USB whenever I want to transfer a lot of data (like MP3 files) or when I want a faster network connection. Getting USB working hung me up for a while, though.
    Plug in the USB cable (which thankfully came with the phone) and you get a menu of things to do, as USB can really only do one thing at a time. The "Mass Storage" is what is used for file transfer to the microSD card. I guess that's an OK name, though it could have been a little more intuitive.
    I don't know what "Media Transfer" does.
    You would think that "Connect PC to web" would connect your PC to the web. But you would be wrong. To get a /dev/ttyACM0, a simulated serial port to connect to the web using PPP, you choose "PC Suite". The "Connect PC to web" option creates a simulated CDROM drive that has the PC software to connection your PC to the web through the phone. With the proper selection, I could dial in at will. Now I'm happier, though this cost my some unnecessary time.
    VPN
    Now I've got a cool phone that does all kinds of stuff with email. So I think: "I'll set up a VPN so I can get to my home and work email." This was not easy. The best instructions I found were at http://wiki.paepstin.info/nokia:vpn. But they are not quite accurate.
    First of all, if you are going to use RSA, the information the keys was wrong. You can completely ignore the information about the "fqdngw" key and certification. You only need to create on key and one certificate for both the phone and the VPN gateway. Put them into /etc/ipsec.d/private and /etc/ipsec.d/certs, respectively. You do need to put the server certificate in as it says. And the "RSA" entry in ipsec.secrets is wrong, it should be the key that you put into the private directory, not the name on the web page.
    I was able to get RSA to work with this, but it was annoying as the phone asks you occasionally for the key store password. So I'm using PSK (with a good password).
    Creating the keys is easier than it described in the web page due to some better software begin available from Nokia. Unfortunately, it only runs on windows. You can get it at http://businesssoftware.nokia.com/mobile_vpn_downloads.php, it's named "Nokia Mobile VPN Client Policy Tool for Microsoft Windows". The settings in the tool can be directly accessed with the "Advanced view" options, you need to set the values up as described in the tool, but you need to set the mode to "X509 DN" if you use RSA.
    You can also do this all on Linux, perhaps, you can search around with Google and find that information.
    Things that I like
    The phone is very fast. Viewing web pages on my old Motorola v3xx seemed to be limited by the rendering speed of the web browser, not the bandwidth. Not so with this phone.
    The email works quite well, in general.
    Wireless LAN access works well.
    SIP worked perfectly the first time with Gizmo (I already had a Gizmo account, highly recommended). This will be really useful when I travel internationally.
    I use Scheduleworld to sync my schedule and contacts with Google calendar. The syncing was very fast and worked perfectly. It also syncs Notes, which was one of the most annoying things missing on my Motorola v3xx. (It didn't have notes at all, in fact.)
    The main screen is quite functional for me. I could set everything up like I wanted, and it has useful information.
    You can run multiple things at the same time! I really hated that about the Motorola v3xx.
    The battery meter seems to work correctly. The one on my Motorola v3xx was worthless.
    Thinks I don't like
    The IMAP mail works well for most everything, but you cannot move messages between folders. Since I use spamassasin, I have a special folder that spamassasin detects spam in, and another non-spam folder. But I can't read them move the mails to the various folders. I really don't like this.
    Voice dialing is completely useless for a number of reasons:
    1) It seems rather unstable, and often causes my phone to reset. Oddly enough, this has been getting better over time, perhaps due to the voice learning.
    2) Even if it didn't cause my phone to reset, it doesn't seem to work well. I know it learns, but my Motorola v3xx didn't have any learning and worked quite well.
    3) Even if the word recognition worked well, it's still not usable without being able to look at the phone and press buttons. The phone has no way to say "No, I don't want that one" through a voice command. You have to be looking at the phone in case it makes a mistake (which could be embarrassing), but that completely defeats the purpose of voice command. When my Motorola v3xx did voice command, it would ask you if it was correct and allow you to go through the selections it found, completely with voice commands.
    I'm really going to miss voice dialing. Probably the greatest loss switching from the v3xx.
    The phone should use standard microUSB connecter and should charge the phone through it. My Motorola v3xx did this, and I have a bunch of these cables lying around (from various cameras and such) and a bunch of chargers. I don't understand why any phone manufacturer would want to do anything else, except to make their customers lives more difficult and tie them to the manufacturers various chargers. This really sucks.
    I've had problems with Bluetooth disconnecting the headset. It's rather annoying, and I'm not the only one who's had the problem, as can be seen by searching through these forums. I just got a Jawbone, and it doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as the H700 I have previously, though.
    You have to use XAUTH for VPN logins, at least with openswan. This is somewhat annoying. It would be very nice if Nokia could fix this (apparently the E60 didn't have this problem so it's a new problem, as evidenced in the VPN web page I posted above). If you don't use XAUTH, it seems to connect (at least from openswan's point of view) but the phone never transitions on to do the thing it was going to do.
    WLAN really sucks power. It advertises 6.9 days, but I don't even get 12 hours. I don't get the values for GSM or WCDMA, either, but 12 hours is just not enough.
    The 2.5mm audio jack really sucks. Why can't it be a standard 3.5mm jack? I had to look for a while, and I think I found a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter that will work at http://www.atmasphere.net/wp/archives/2008/08/13/e71-recommended-accessory-javoedge-stereo-adapter
    I've noticed various glitchy problems. For instance, once I had to mailboxes connected on the same VPN at the same time, and then I disconnected one, then the other. The first one never disconnected and would not disconnect. I had to reset the phone to fix the problem. I've seen other little glitches like that, though none as bad as the resetting problem with the voice command and I've never been able to reproduce any of the other ones.
    The mapping program is not intuitive. I still haven't figured out how to use it very well. After I use it for a while I might figure it out. The ability to download maps to the phone would be nice for situations where you are not connected to the internet. I haven't done much with this. I really like the UI for Google maps, this is a big step down from there.
    VPN connections do not show up in the "Active data connections" section of the connectivity manager.
    The documentation is lacking a lot. Almost all the help on the phone is like the "Proxy port number" setting under "Access point settings". The help is "Enter the proxy port number". That kind of documentation is useless. I'd like to know what the thing does. And the browser has keyboard shortcuts, but I have no idea what they are. A scroll forward and back would be mighty handy keyboard shortcuts, and they might exist, if only someone wrote it down...
    Whew, that's a bunch, I guess, but mostly minor (and mostly correctable with a software update, hint hint). If the above things were fixed, it would make this a faultless phone, at least for me. But in addition to those, the following things would make the phone uber-cool:
    A big screen and a slider. The screen the only thing I like about the iphone (I really hate that it doesn't have a keyboard, plus you can't tether it and voice command really sucks on the iphone, too.)
    It could run Linux . Sorry, I couldn't resist.

    EXCELLENT! Could you please please post your dialling files for AT&T?? Even better if you could upload a zip of your entire /etc/ppp/peers folder that would be nicer even. I am in desperate need to get the $15 MediaNet tethering on my Fedora 10 laptop working over bluetooth, I used to do it before with T-mobile T-zones with my E61, but since then I switched to my E71 and moved my number to AT&T and my attempts to adapt my scripts to AT&T have not been successful yet however tethering under Windows XP with the Nokia PC suite works though...

  • What is the best way to import an ANSI as UTF-8 Text file using the import wizard

    I'm using SQL Server 2008 and am trying to import a flat txt file that is ANSI as UTF-8 and keep getting error after error on different fields.  I'm wondering if there is a series of settings that will give me the best chance of importing this
    file.  I've inserted a a sample that you can look at.
    The row delimiters are SOH and CR LF

    For this I think you may be better off creating SSIS package from Business Intelligence Development Studio rather than using Export Import wizard. You need to convert the code page of columns from 1252 to 65001 for saving it to UTF 8 file. In SSIS you
    can use a derived column task for that.

  • AMD/ATI driver problems on a Dell laptop with attached dual monitors

    I have a Dell Precision M4800 laptop with a docking station for two additional monitors. I'm shooting for a "big desktop" setup, with my laptop display and the two external monitors forming one large multi-monitor X screen.
    When deciding which video driver I'd need, I did the usual:
    $ lspci | grep VGA
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Venus XT [Radeon HD 8800M Series]
    Which is weird, because the M4800 isn't shipped with 8800M cards. Rather, it's shipped with the AMD FirePro M5100 Mobility Pro (see above link) (also, too many "Pros", AMD...).
    I tried the open-source driver, but I couldn't get both my external monitors working in tandem, so I went with catalyst-test, since the non-beta version of the proprietary driver doesn't support the 3.13 kernel (or my alleged 8800M series card, for what it's worth).
    My display setup using catalyst-test is still far from ideal. My dual (horizontally adjacent) monitors reset to cloned/mirrored desktops after every reboot, and my machine refuses to show three monitors (dual monitors + laptop display), even with the 2GB of dedicated RAM in my graphics card (see above M4800 link). There's other miscellaneous annoyances as well.
    Using hardinfo, I see that my VGA driver thinks it only has 256MB of RAM... which doesn't align with the M4800 specs. Is there a way to change this value?
    Just today, I found the catalyst-firepro driver, which I think might be the correct driver for my laptop, at least given the specs on the M4800 from the website.
    There's also the option of not using my AMD card at all, and just using the Intel graphics on my laptop. (I had to disable hybrid graphics in my BIOS to get any AMD-specific drivers to work). I'd like to steer away from this, due to the performance loss, but I'd be willing to make the change if the pros outweighed the cons.
    As I see it, I have a few options:
    AMD/ATI open source driver: Can't seem to get two monitors working, much less three...
    catalyst-test: Any two monitors will work together, but not three. Other annoyances.
    catalyst-firepro: Have not tested yet.
    Intel open-source driver with AMD card disabled: Have not tested yet.
    Can anyone who has had similar issues and/or hardware offer a best course of action which has worked for them? I know we're supposed to avoid "opinion" questions, but I think this is grounded enough in the scientific method to merit some helpful responses.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    clfarron4 wrote:
    The last option to me is screaming catalyst-pxp at me, because that's one of the few options if you have integrated graphics and a discrete graphics card.
    Let me get this straight: Can you disable the either or both of the Intel/AMD graphics in the BIOS settings? If so, but don't want to disable either, you might want to look at the hybrid graphics section of the wiki.
    I know about powerXpress and I think I'd like to avoid it. My experience with hybrid graphics on other Linux distributions is that it's rather unstable or just plain unsupported. If someone can convince me otherwise, given their experience with hybrid graphics on Arch/Linux, I might reconsider.
    I'm fairly certain I can enable either of my GPU's separately, but I'll have to check for sure next I reboot my PC.
    The last option I mentioned because I thought the Intel drivers might be more robust than the AMD drivers, which have don't have a sterling reputation when it comes to supporting Linux (compared to nVidia anyways, who I know in the past have had good Linux support).

  • Illustrator CS4 won't open

    I recently got a brand new 27 inch Imac, and put CS4 on it. Every program in the suite and even Lightroom work great, EXCEPT illustrator.
    The load screen some on, and when it gets to initializing plug ins "PDF suite" it ALWAYS crashes.
    I've created new users, i've trashed all corrupt and duplicate fonts, i've opened in safe mode and downloaded 3rd party files to clear the font cache, i've deleted the settings folder and the com.adobeblahblah.pls file. I've repaired file permissions. I've installed, reinstalled, and done the same with multiple different dmg files. NOTHING I've read so far works. One thing it HAS done however is make my Airport rather unstable.
    Needless to say, it's insanely frustrating to buy a brand new computer, just to have to still use the old mac book for all designing needs.
    please, any other tips someone has would be incredible. I'm about to throw this off the roof.

    This is what I would do under these conditions.
    deactivate the suites
    go to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and use the removal application to uninstall the suite
    I would then wipe the sytem and reinstall it
    I would then update the system using the software updater
    I would then before installing any thing else install the suite
    then launch Illustrator all should be fine, unless of course you decide not to follow the instruction which means you cannot load your fonts or third party plug ins or system utilities or hacks etc.
    You have to launch Illustrator first. And do nothing else.
    Your third part y stuff and or fonts are causing the problem more that likely after you have successfully launch Illustrator you can load the other stuff. after you load or install a software launch Illustrator to see which one causes the problem then uninstall that app or font and all should be fine.
    That is what I would do.

  • URL  Performance Issue

    Folks,
    I have the following code:
    URL url = new URL("http://www.apage.com/ws/" + txtHTML.getText());
    URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
    BufferedReader htmlPage = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
    read the html page....I would like to run this 1000's of times. What would be quicker? How can I speed it up? I know that I can use threading, however this code itself is taking too long.
    Thanks
    Angus

    I've been using a package HTTPClient http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/ as the JDK classes are a bit inflexible and (IMHO) rather unstable at the sort of useage rates you are talking about.
    Using this package (I think you can also do this with the JDK classes) under HTTP 1.1 you can create a single connection and request lots of URL's throught it. This improves performance by only creating the connection once for your 1000s of pages rather than 1000s of times.
    Code goes something like this;
    HTTPConnection conn = new HTTPConnection(host, port);
    while (true) {
    request = "/app/page.jsp?param=value";
    try {
    HTTPResponse resp = conn.Get(request);
    } catch (Esception ex) {
    In my case I'm using it to stress test and app server.

  • Question about file type designations

    Hi,
    I use a program called Sound Studio to record meetings that I do. Lately, what's happening now when I download videos emailed by friends, the file extension says .mp4, but when I open them, Sound Studio opens up and I only hear the audio (because audio is all that program does). When I do the get info command, the instructions say open file with Sound Studio, rather than QuickTime.
    Is there some kind of setting somewhere, either in Snow Leopard or in Safari, where I can set that all downloaded video files are to be opened by Quicktime?
    Thanks.

    change the default app in that popup from sound studio to anything you want to use like Quicktime player and click 'change all".

  • KDEmod 4.1 (RC1) packages

    It doesn't look like many people know of them, and since we could use some more testing before 4.1 is released, I'm posting here.
    An up-to-date-ish post here, about how to install it:
    http://www.kdemod.ath.cx/bbs/viewtopic.php?pid=4611
    In addition to the normal KDE packages, we provide some extra plasmoids and other nice packages, like Yakuake, Arxin and Shaman. We also have some KOffice 2 pre-alpha packages, if you want to try it out (thanks to boom1992 ).
    I have made PKGBUILDs for the kde-nepomuk stuff from playground (tags:/-kio-slave and the like), but because funkyou is on holiday, it isn't added to the repo's yet (the x86_64-version can be gotten from http://kdemod41.likbilen.com/ however, and everything should be kosher by monday).
    If the official repo is slow, there's a complete mirror at:
    http://kdemod.iskrembilen.com/repo/unstable/i686/
    http://kdemod.iskrembilen.com/repo/unstable/x86_64/
    Please note that these packages are still rather unstable, but they are really getting there. Stuff that's missing is the language packs and kdebindings (looking into it this weekend, together with building 4.0.84).
    (Oh, and before someone starts mentioning duplication of effort, these are split packages, like the kdemod 3.5 packages, and also, we just build the snapshots, we don't do daily rebuilds of SVN trunk. )

    Yeah, I noticed that before I installed it.  Thanks for the info, though.
    It's just that I've installed the KDEmod4 packages at least half a dozen different times on fresh Arch installs and have done some upgrades, too, but as it turns out the Kde4 packages released by tanis have always worked better on my end than any of the others I've tried.  That said, I'll probably stick with them until the official release goes into the Arch repos.
    Please don't think I'm criticizing any of the kdemod stuff, because I'm not.  It just hasn't worked out all that well for me when I've installed it.  I'm actually very glad it's available for those that want it.
    Thanks if it is you that makes it available. 
    No problem at all, and thanks for the kind words
    But, if you have time and patience, it would be nice if you posted a bug about the problems in the bug tracker at http://kdemod.ath.cx/bugs/

  • Restoring my iBook G4 from an external drive

    Hi everyone, I am hoping to get some tips here. I have just got my iBook returned from AppleCare, where it had its internal HD replaced. That in itself was a story, but I will focus on the present rather than the past!
    The good news is that I always do regular back-ups and all of my data was saved on my LaCie 300GB external drive. I have the drive partitioned -- 70 GB is a bootable OS X 4.8 clone of my Macintosh HD (made using LaCie's SilverKeeper app), and the other 210 GB is pretty much just "data" in the form of music files.
    I have tried using my Tiger install discs, starting up Disk Utility and doing an Erase and Restore (from the Bootable backup on the LaCie drive) and about 80% of the way through, I get a non-descript error message -- I think it's error -22 but I can't quite remember, even though I have tried this twice now. So I click OK, and then still in Disk Utility, I do a "Verify Disk" on my brand-spanking-new internal HD on the iBook, and it won't let me do it. Instead, it gives me this error message: "the underlying task reported failure on exit." In red, in the First Aid box, it tells me there is an "Invalid B-Tree node size." (I have no idea what any of this means.)
    Strangely, though, when I restart the iBook from the internal HD, I am able to boot up. But there is obviously something wrong with the disk. What do I do? I'm able to boot up, and I'm obviously able to connect to the internet, and most of my data seems to have been copied onto the new internal HD, but obviously there is something wrong with the disk. I am afraid to use anything or save any data other than on the external, because things seem rather unstable.
    Any ideas as to my next step?
    I should add that before doing the Erase and Restore via Disk Utility, I first tried following the instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941 and although everything seemed to "work" fine, I had permissions issues -- suddenly I was unable to access items on my external HD when I plugged it in, because I did not have admin privileges, even though I have set up my account as being the Admin account.
    I also tried using the Migration Assistant, but with no success, despite not needing any firmware updates on an iBook G4. It just froze and I couldn't do anything.
    My next step is a phone call to AppleCare... but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe I should be contacting LaCie and their SilverKeeper app support? Any suggestions / support greatly appreciated.

    John, thanks again. But now I am confused.
    I have run Disk Utility to check the external drive; it says it's fine.
    I am not restoring the internal from a disk image. Here is what I have tried in Disk Utility (on my Tiger DVD):
    -under "Restore", I am dragging my external "OS X Bootable" drive (on the partitioned external) into the "Source" slot,
    -dragging my "Macintosh" (newly replaced internal) into the "Destination" slot,
    -checking the box that says "Erase Destination".
    -clicking "Restore"
    -80% through, I get a non-descript error message.
    -when I later try to verify the internal HD "Macintosh" (which has now been re-named "OS X Bootable"), it gives me the node error I mentioned earlier.
    I'm not installing a fresh copy of Tiger via Erase and Restore. How do I do this? Or are we talking about the same thing? (Apologies if we are... as I said, I'm confused now.)
    Rather than trying to copy
    your entire Home folder (along with any possible
    corrupted preference files) why not just drag and
    drop your documents after the reinstall?
    Doing this would mean I'd have to re-set all my hundreds of preferences. You have a point; perhaps my preference files are the corrupted ones. However, it's not just the documents I'm talking about. I'm talking about thousands of music files, playlists, and photo albums. And I'd have to re-install every application that doesn't come with OS X.
    I did regular backups on my LaCie external, and tested it every time I backed up, to make sure I could always boot from my external if I needed to (which I can). I have a "perfect" clone on my external of everything I had before my internal crashed and needed to be replaced -- why isn't it simple enough to just put this back onto my internal? Isn't that the reason I did backups in the first place? Otherwise I would have just dropped and dragged only the data onto my external drive every week, rather than making a clone.
    In theory, shouldn't I be able to do this? Restore from my external and copy everything there onto the internal? Unless, of course you are right and one of my preference files is the corrupt one. But if that is the case, wouldn't Disk Utility tell me that there is an error on the external, bootable copy?
    What would you advise? Do you think I should just start from scratch, and re-install as you've advised -- new system, new directory, no third-party apps, no preferences?

  • Preserving boot camp option after re-installing Mac OS X

    I have a 1st gen Mac Pro with Vista installed on a second hard drive under boot camp. Recently for reasons that I can't find a solution to, my machine has become rather unstable with numerous crashes and lockups that never used to happen.
    I want to do a clean reinstall of Mac OS, but I'm concerned that this will replace the boot sector on the main disk and might remove the option to boot into Vista, meaning the Microsoft OS will still be installed but I'll have no way of accessing it.
    Has anyone reinstalled Mac OS and managed to keep the boot camp option? Does it get wiped out? If so, what I can I do to get it back. I don't really want to install Vista again as well.

    If you are worred: pull 2nd drive out, backup both Vista and OS X.
    If you are haviing trouble, run Disk Warrior regularly, and make some backup clones with SuperDuper.
    As for OS X, Apple has some troubleshooting OS X articles, and lots of help in the OS X Leopard forums.
    And no, this isn't the same as XP and dealing with boot.ini but you might at worst have to boot from Vista DVD once at worst.

  • Disk icon doesnt show up in ibook 10.2 install

    Hi,
    I'm trying to reinstall 10.2 on my iBook g3 600mhz. When I boot from the install cd, I get to the point in the installer where I can select the disk to install on, but no disk shows up...The hard drive nor the CD. I've tried wiping the hard drive and still the disk doesnt show up. Any suggestions?

    Jacqueline:
    When I boot from the install cd, I get to the point in the installer where I can select the disk to install on, but no disk shows up...The hard drive nor the CD.
    The CD will not show up as you cannot install OS X to a CD. Your Hard Drive not showing up may be due to
    a. HDD not formatted or not properly formatted.
    b. Damaged or failed.
    If your HDD is the original one that came with the computer it has probably failed and even it showed it would be rather unstable, anyway. If you installed a new HDD, you will need to format it first. Post back and let me know which of those conditions obtains. I can give you step by step directions for formatting, if needed.

    Rather than just pick a name off a list, I would like some recommendations for a Business objects Partner in the Northwest area.
    I am in Helena, Montana, and just took over support for our Crystal Reports Server (XI). The server is rather unstable at the moment with intermittant issues with scheduled reports.

    Hey David.
    I have one other idea on why your reports might be slow.
    Check to see if you have report indexing enabled on those reports that are taking a long time.  Try removing the index to see if that speeds up the time it takes to execute the report.
    I found this in the help guide{
    Indexing the right field(s)These guidelines describe the best ways to index saved data and what to avoid when indexing:
    Index fields that users frequently add to their record selection formulas. Index fields that are referred to by the report's record selection formula. Don't index all of the fields in the report. Doing so can result in increased processing times. It is best to index only on the fields that meet the criteria specified above. If all of the fields meet these criteria, then you should prioritize the fields and index only some of them.
    Don't index fields that contain unique values only. For instance, don't index a field such as "Last Year's Sales," whose values are likely to be distinct from one another. If you do so, a separate index is created for each and every value in the field.
    To index saved dataOpen your report in the Crystal Reports. On the Report menu, click Report Bursting Indexes. In the Saved Data Indexes dialog box, select the fields that you want indexed within the saved data. Click OK to return to Crystal Reports. If you want to create the index immediately, refresh and save the report. }
