≥≤ Symbols output in different sizes. Please help!

Working in Quark Xpress 9.5.1, on OS 10.8.4 using Font Agent Pro 5.028...
I am having difficulty with the the font Helvetica Condensed. Sometimes the greater than/equal (≥) or less than/equal signs (≤) are different sizes. We have three different macs all set up with same software/versions and using the same font library. Each one is outputting differently. We have struggled with this same issue through various OS and various versions of Quark and Font Agent Pro.
I am not very knowledgeable about all of the things that can go wrong with fonts - and I just don't know how to get to the source of our issue.
This happens using both Adobe and Allied Fonts.
Please help!

The usual problem is that at print time, your printer does not have the exact font available, and substitutes a different font that it thinks should be comparable. The letters sometimes work, but special symbols are rarely the same in all aspects in different fonts.
If there is a Printer option to do so, tell it not to do any Font substitution.

Ld:warning symbol 'jpeg_std_message_table' has differing sizes

Hi all !
I have a problem in generating my shared object.
My shared object depends on other two shared objects (libAB.so & libXY.so), of which I don't have any control (i.e., I can't modify the source code).
When I try to generate my shared object, the compiler generates the following waring:
ld:warning symbol 'jpeg_std_message_table' has differing sizes:
( file /home/ravinder/libXY.so value=0x1f0; file /home/ravinder/libAB.so value=0x1f4);
/home/ravinder/libXY.so definition taken
Even though this seems to be a warning, when i try to run my program which accesses the functions in the library "libAB.so", my code is blowing out by dumping the core.
Please help me out.
How do I overcome this problem, where I can't access the source code of the dependent libraries.
Is there any compiler option, which resolves this symbol conflict.
Is is it possible to overcome this complex symbol resolution problem?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
~Ravinder.

Different object files have different definitions of the object 'jpeg_std_message_table'. Likely causes of the problem:
- they were compiled using different versions of a common library.
- you have a collision between unrelated objects with the same name.
Since your program doesn't run, the differences in definition, or the collision, is important, and you must resolve it somehow.
You can run "nm" on each binary to find the files where the symbol is defined:
nm somefile | grep jpeg_std_message_table'
and look for lines that do not say UNDEF.
If the different definitions are from 3rd-party libraries, you will have to contact the supplier to find out how to resolve the issue.

I bought(own) and gifted(friend) an app which i was charged 2 different prices please help me with this!!!

Apple does not sell an unlocked iPhone. Some cell carriers offer the option to purchase an unlocked phone at a significantly higher price. Your friend could go to Hong Kong and buy an unlocked phone from an authorized carrier but if he has any problems with the phone, he will need to take it back to the country where he purchased it.

1 input file to 2 output file mapping. Please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a snenario where from one input file I have to generate two output files. My sender and receiver systems are the same since I want to generate the output files in the same location. I am using both the systems same just for testing purpose.
So in IR I have created
1. one outbound interface for the input file
2. two inbound interfaces for the output files
3. one message mapping containing one input message
      transformation to two output messages.
4. one interface mapping containing one input interface
      transformation to two output interfaces.
In ID I have created
    1. one file sender channel and two receiver channels for two output files with different names.
    2. two receiver agreements
    3. one sender agreement
    4. one interface determination of type "Enhanced".
    5. one receiver determination
But when I run the scenario given one valid input file I am getting the error in the sxmb_moni : RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element.
However message mapping and interface mapping works perfectly if I test it in IR with the same input file.
Can somebody help me understand what I might be doing wrong?
Have I done the configuration correctly for 1:N mapping?
Please help! I will be greatfull to you if you can help me.
Thanks
Gopal

If my input file is like this:
   <ns1:LocationMsg_MT xmlns:ns1="http://www.abc.com/Gopal">
         <Location>
         </Location>
</ns1:LocationMsg_MT >
Then my scenario is working.
But my input file will be like this:
<LocationMsg_MT>
         <Location>
         </Location>
<LocationMsg_MT >
This is giving problem.
How to handle this kind of file?
Thanks
Gopal

SAPscript Output Problem - Very Urgent - Please help

Hi,
I am having the following problem with SAPscript.
In the Main Window, I have instructions to the printer in the ZPL2 language (For Zebra Printer).
There are also several variables, which are highlighted in Gray and enclosed in the&.
There are also several elements all of them empty except for the one where this code is.
Now, I received this program to modify in terms of code and the output.
IF you have never done any work with Zebra Printing, the way it is done is that you create a label using the Zebra BarOne or Zebra Designer program, then output it to an itf file, upload it into a standard text as .itf and copy the uploaded contents to the main window. When printing to a Zebra printer, the Zebra printer will read the instructions and will print the output.
Here is the problem: The config for the output type is correct.
When doing a printing test from SAPscript, I get the right output and the Zebra printer is able to print it.
However, the real process for this task will go through MB02. There, if I create a spool request using the proper method (select output type and etc.), it will go the spool. However, if I print preview or output (doesnt work with the Zebra printer, so I have to output to the Laser printer), it will output the following (none of the following includes any of the ZPL2 code/instructions. Instead, it seams to print the variables contents with the field name next to it This isnt whats its the Main window!!!)
http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/6915/66052475zk2.jpg
Please help. I have debugged but dont know what to do and cant find anything wrong.
This is very urgent. Any help will be useful.
Thanks,
John

Ok, maybe I have confused others in regards to the issue as well.
We expect this label to be output from a Zebra Printer.
When output through Sapscripts printing test, the preview from the spool shows the ZPL2 code in small font (non readible if a created a screenshot) and if sent to the Zebra Printer, it prints the label correctly.
When output through MB02, the preview from the spool shows the code that I have attached to the 1st post in this thread. If I try to output to the Zebra Printer, nothing happens because the ZPL2 instructions are not even in the preview and therefore, the Zebra printer recieves no instructions. I should not have mentioned the laser printer, because it has nothing to do with this issue.
I hope that this makes the issue a little more clear and understandable. Please help.
Here is the ZPL2 coding before uploading to standard text (only difference is that once uploaded, the '/' characters are removed.) However, I believe that the problem may lie in the print program and how it compiles but I debugged and haven't really seen where it comes from:

A mic doesn't work. Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different. Please, help!

Hello!
The trouble began in Google Hangouts on Air. When I'm in conference room I read that my mic doesn't work. I checked settings, chose "default" one time and my microphone name another time. Both variants don't help. On the right end of an address bar I read this message: "this page has been blocked from accessing your camera and microphone". I clicked it, chose "Allow", after reloading the problem returns. Then I went to Chrome exceptions and allowed my mic on the site.
In Chrome exceptions menu I read this: "Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different". Though I chose "Allow" in Chrome I can't do it Fllash Player. I did all the instructions which are given to solve audio problems, but it didn’t help. I also wanted to allow excess for my mic on “Website Privacy Settings Panel”, but I can’t find https://plus.google.com in the list to allow (attach a screenshot). I’m out of ideas what else to do. Please, help!

DVD Size- Please help

I am in a little bit of a panic right now. I am rendering a movie in IDVD that I brought over from Final Cut Express. It's about 52 minutes long and 11GB. I put in a DVD that's only 4.7GB. I didn't know this was the problem. I put it in last night before I went to bed and this morning I got an error. I am assuming this is why I received the error. I am really new to all of this. Are there blank DVD's that will accomodate this size file and will they work with a MAC? Please help. I have to have this done by noon today.
Thank-you so much.

size doesn't matter in iDVD.. only length.. any under 120min is ok.
recommendations:
in iDVD: don't just 'burn', but select 'create image'.
in FCE: don't 'manually' convert into something by choosing 'Export/Quicktime Conversion', just 'Export/Quicktime Movie' - drag that into iDVD.
be sure, FCE project and iDVD project fit the same framerate/standard (25/29.97fps)
don't 'overwhelm' iDVD's dropzones with 'hours' of content.. those dropzones are meant to fit a few seconds (minute) of material..
be sure, your projects contain 'any' audio (even an audio-track of 'nothing' is audio.. but no 'empty' audio track in iDVD please).
when image is created, launch apps/Utilities/DiskUtility to 'copy' disk image onto a 'real' DVD.. choose Verbatim or Toyo Yuden -r ... burn speed 2-4x .

Preview in Browser and Adobe Browser Lab show website differently? Please help

Hi...working on my first website and I have a question about the differences in viewing the site through
choosing file...preview in browser....
from within Dreamweaver, and using the Adobe Browser Lab to view the website.
There seems to be a very significant difference between the two. When I preview firefox from within dreamweaver, my site is just how I want it.
When I go to browser lab, it is...well... a disaster.
I'm attaching screenshots of the two as well as my code, so it can show how different they are. Here is a screenshot of the website as it looks when I use the preview in browser function from within dreamweaver to view it in firefox. This is how I'd like it to look.
And here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I preview it in Adobe Browser Lab in Firefox.
The quote is underneath the logo, the left div text is flowing over the center div, the nav bar graphics are too narrow, the photo is hanging outside the div it should be contained in. Not what I want.
Does anyone have any insight into how I would fix this or which version is correct?
I'm stumped. This is my first website: shouldn't these two things be similar? And which one is correct?
and here is my code:

Thanks for your help.

You are using % widths for your layout which means it will look different depending of the size of each users monitor. Although this is probably the better way to go these days, it is not one size fits all and will work more effectively if you include min and max widths, and also media queries that change your layout depending on the monitor size. This is more advanced coding and will take time if you want to do that. Alternatively, you could design using pixel widths and have it look consistent across all desktop browsers and throw a few media queries in for the mobile side.

Extending wireless range to a different building please help!!!

Warning! This is long but I’m trying to be thorough
Ok guys I have been on a quest to search for a good and somewhat reasonably priced way to extend my home wireless network. I am going to be a detailed as I can so you all can draw the best picture in your head. Also I would like to stress that I have very little knowledge of what the industries acronyms mean, so the more detailed you are the better and it will be greatly appreciated. I know how to set up a basic home network but that’s not saying much when it pretty much does it itself.
Here’s the thing. I have Comcast cable Internet hooked to a Linksys WRTS54GS. It is currently centrally located in the house and works great anywhere in the house (3300sq ft), so moving it to a better location in order to extend the signal shouldn’t be an issue. Approx. 160 feet away is a large shop my dad and I just completed and want wireless Internet. At 160 feet from the house, you are at the very front of the shop and then it goes back another 60 feet you will be entering the office where the computer is. The office is another 15 to 20 feet long giving a total length of 80 feet. So currently we are at 240 ish feet total. As stated above, I can move the home modem to a place that will be sitting on a window ledge facing the shop. 160 feet away is another window in the shop that I can put whatever device you guys recommend. The hopes are for that the recommended device can incorporate the entire shop of about 2600 sq feet so we can have laptops anywhere we want but mostly in the office
Now I heard of many different options repeaters, bigger antenna, second modem (which might be the repeater thing.) I just don’t know what exactly to do. I currently use a Macbook (mac haters please no comments J ) and I can get a very faint signal from the home network as well as accessing the Internet but if I move a little or a slight breeze develops, then it goes away.
Cliff notes
I need to extend my signal with my Linksys WRTS54GS a total of 240 feet but I can place something in between that distance at the 160 foot marker, shorter than that it will be sitting in the driveway. Clear line of site and only have to go through two windows if that even matters.
Thanks so much
Jacob

If the signal is as faint as you describe it, then you'll need to find a way to get an ethernet connection in or very near the office so that you can add a secondary router to broadcast the wired signal as a wireless signal using option #1 in this guide.
I have no experience with external antennas designed to increase wireless signals so I can't tell you how much of a difference that would make and I would also advice against buying a repeater since all it would be repeating is the low signal and everything attributed to it (low speed, high pings, etc.)
Maybe other forum members will be able to provide you with better suggestions.

New MacBook Pro Unibody Jun 2011 - No Audio Device / No Output Device Installed. Please Help.

Dear All,
I have installed OSX Lion on the 20th July 2011 and the problem started with the audio device installed. Itunes wont even play and iDVD and you tube would work without audio. I have tried everything from system diagnostic re-booting back to original snow leopard on 10.6.7 including taking it for service. The audio works intermittently when I re-start my MacBook but eventually disappears back to square one. Until restarted again.
I am still under my 90 days from purchase date and the problem is I am no longer in London where I originally purchased the MacBook from - I moved to Delhi, India with my family and they don't have geniuses here only local service/ technicians who already tried fixing the problem.
Very disappointed after spending nearly £1,600.00 for this.
I don't want to go back to the local service centre for them to restart my MacBook to prove audio device is working.
Is there any other option for me like refund or replacement?
Many Thanks
Shah

Dear Lex,
Thank you for your advice above.
I have updated latest iTunes 10.4.1(10) 64 bit.
I have updated latest OSX Lion: 10.7.1 Build 11B26
Still the problem occurs. When laptop restarts the sound stays for 5-10 min before shutting down intermittently. In iTunes the music will not even run - other applications such as YouTube - it will run but no sound.
I have tried everything now and I am certain it must be a software connected issue I am experiencing only.
Please can you help.
Many Thanks

Need to return data from a query in different ways - Please help

We are using 10g R2
I have a proc as follows that has a query with over 100 values in the select clause:
proc one( input param1, input_param2,.... output_cursor )
as
begin
open cursor for
select ...about 100 values with most of them being calculated
from table1, view 1, table2, table 3, view 2 ...
where ....
and table1.col1 = input param1
and table1.col2 = input param 2
and view1.col5 = input param5...
end;
I need to return the data that comes from the above query in different formats, columns for a report would be different from columns for screen A and different for screen B. I need only certain columns for a report and different set of columns for another screen. I have wrapper procs that get different input params. From the wrapper procs I intend to call the above proc but would like only selected values.
How can I accomplish this? Since my main goal is to select different columns for each wrapper I was thinking of insert the data from the above proc into global temp table and selecting whatever columns and order I want from the wrappers.
What do you think? Any other solutions?
Thanks

You need to clearly separate roles and responsibilities. The PL/SQL code that creates and supplies a cursor handle is server code tasked to supply data. The code that makes the call for server data, is responsible for formatting and rendering that data.
Thus moving data formatting into the server code needs to be question. Simple example. Cursor does not return invoice date as a date - but formats it into a string using TO_CHAR().
This works for client1 - as that is the date format expected. However, client2 has different International settings and specifies a different date format. Invoice date, formatted into a string by the server, now renders in the wrong format on client2.
Server code should not be concerned with rendering and formatting of data send to a client.
As for the idea to use a global temp table is ..., well to put it nicely, it smells. Badly.
The single most expensive operation on a database platform is I/O. And now you want to read server data and write it to temporary storage, and the read data from temporary storage to return to the client? What on earth for!? Why purposefully increase the size of the I/O workload? Why decrease performance and undermine scalability?
Provide a proper abstraction interface to the client. Enable it to specify (as simplistically as possible) what it wants ito data. There are a number of ways to design and implement this in PL/SQL. Simplistic example:

I can no longer trace Output in Flash. Please Help!

Hi, I'm learning Flash and Action Script 3 but I'm stuck with a problem.
The Output panel stopped tracing my scripts. For example the Output panel will not display anything after I type trace("this"); in the Actions window and press Shift + Enter. I'm not sure what's the cause but this started after I tried to use Debug Movie for the first time.The Output panel still shows errors though but no tracing.
Restarting Flash and the Computer didn't help. I tried deleting the user files. I'm using Vista and I decided that Flash by default stores the user files in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS4. I removed the Flash CS4 folder there hoping that restarting with a fresh settings will fix the problem. Unfortunately it didn't. And I'm not sure it this is where Flash stores the user files because after what I thought will be fresh restart, Flash still remembers which were my most resent files in its Welcome window. At the moment I don't have any other ideas but to reinstall Flash.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

thank you kglad,
Now I remember that I played with that without understanding what it is. Now I know very well
Anyway I still would like to know where Flash stores the user settings files, in case I mess with other things in the future with my learning experiments.
I will read the entire manual but meanwhile I like to play with things and when stuck with something like that I rather delete the user settings files instead of bothering people here with my stupid problems.
Will apprecate any tip about that
Thanks

Problem with image size, please help!

I have spent the last week editing several photos I took for my cousin of his newborn baby (removing backgrounds/people, editing colours etc etc).
I went to get them printed but the image size is only around 800 x 400 pixles. I checked my original images from my camera and their 4000 x 3000, why are my photos once imported into photoshop suddenly being drastically reduced in size?
Really need some help here as I'm afraid I might have lost a whole weeks work as the images are now too small to get decent prints from.
Thanks,
Sacred

The pixel measurements are 3000 x 4000 when taken straight off my camera but for some reason after editing the photo its gone down to 800 x 800, this wouldnt be too much of a problem but its at a density of 300dpi where as the original pictures are at 72dpi.
I've tried my hardest to replicate the problem all afternoon going through the various stages of importing, editing and saving that I normally do and I can't get it to do it again? Really confused as to whats happened, its not the first time though I had the same problem back in 2007 after shooting someones wedding, edited a few of the photos (no cropping) then found the sizes had dropped drastically.
As far as I know I don't have any scripts, actions or image processes set up to do anything on any of my images.
When I open the file I've retouched its gone from a printable measurement of 60 x 40 inches to a printable measurement of 3 x 3 inches, this image has been extensivly cropped (just over half to 3/4) but no where near as small as 3 x 3 printable inches (I'm talking in printable size and not pixles because it can be missleading as saying the size in pixles doest equate to a physical size).
From what I can tell the image has changed size after editing and saving, I only noticed a few days later when I attempted to have the image printed that it had reduced in size so much. Which leads me to believe that the image problem must stem from the way its being saved each time??
Thanks a lot for your help and time guys
