Test Drive Mainstage

I'm a Logic Express user and I'm interested in upgrading to Pro in order to use Mainstage as my live guitar rig. Is there any way I can download a trial version of Mainstage to see if I can even use it?

Most people would say it'd be RAM which is probably true when using third party instruments, but honestly, it's your proc. I had 2 gig in my MB Pro (same proc speed as yours) and upgraded to 4 hoping to see a big difference using the standard Logic software instruments, and my memory utilization went from 40-50% to 20-25%, but my proc was still pegged most of the time. I resolved this by removing a lot of the plug-ins on the presets, but I still have a problem with my proc being maxed out all of the time... I did end up installing an ikmultimedia software instrument, and I noticed that with 4 gig, I was now seeing more like 70-80% memory usage, but proc usage seemed to be better since I didn't have to use any logic plugins to get a good sound. Of course this changed when I was actually performing live in a gig. It's like my freakin' Mac Book Pro gets nervous or something when we're on stage!

How to create a new connection from SAPGUI to Test drive?

Hi,
I have installed Sap Netweaver Test drive on a linux virtual machine (windows host). The installation was successful and I was able to start the instance (application server and the database), yet I don't know how to create a new connection from my SAPGUI client (7.20) to this server. The static IP address of the server is 192.168.1.160.
I entered the following values for my new connection entry
Description: SAP Netweaver
Application server: 192.168.1.160
Instance number: 01
System ID: DB2
SAProuter: /H/192.168.1.160/S/3201/H/
But it does not work. Any idea about the values needed for creating a new entry?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Hello there,
Thank you very much for your answer which solved my problem. In fact there was no need of providing router string.

Running "Flex test drive" - Got error while attempting to connect to data service

Hi,
I'm a Flex / Flash builder beginner. I downloaded the 60 days evaluation, and started to run the "Flex test drive" :
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/testdrive.html
My configuration :
XP SP3 PRO french edition
Tomcat 6.0
My local Eclipse :eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32 (but also got the issue on the Flash Builder Eclipse, which version is 3.4.0 (Generation ID M20090211-1700)
Flash Builder 4 with Eclipse plug-in
All on same PC
The Test Drive proposes examples in three technologies : Cold Fusion, PHP and Java. I'm doing the Java examples.
Installation of Flash Builder, as well as step 1 of the Test Drive (Build the user interface) went fine. I could run the project, which at the end of step 1 correctly displayed the UI in my browser.
Only one problem, I don't know if it is relevant for the rest of this post : I first got an error, saying that ports 8080, 8005 and 8009, requested by Tomcat, where used. After a short Google search, I fixed it by changing these ports to 8081, 8006, and 8010, in the Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml file.
The Test drive second step is "Connect to data". I found some discrepancies between the Test Drive doc, and what is displayed in Flash Builder. The Test Drive says :
"Use the Data menu and the Service Wizard to create a service for your application server. For ColdFusion and Java, specify the service file you put on your application server earlier (see Figure 9 for a PHP example). For Java, select the No password required check box, select the employeeService destination, and change the service package to services.employeeservice."
--> But there is no "No password required check box".
Also, when running the "Connect to data/service..." wizard, it was not at first completely clear what to choose. The proposed choices were :
BlazeDS
ColdFusion
HTTP
LCDS
PHP
Web Service
XML
Since all others choices, when tried, declared to be unconsistent with my project's server type, I finally selected "Web Service".
In the next wizard's form, according to the Test Drive indications, I specified the URI of my EmployeeService class : C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\testdrive\WEB-INF\classes\services\EmployeeService.class
That defined correctly the other fields.
But when pressing the "Next >" button, Flash Builder issued the following error message :
English translation : Unable to extract operations and entities from specified WSDL. Reason : an error occured while instrospecting the service.
And the full error text is :
An error occured while instrospecting the service. WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'file:/C:/Program%20Files/Apache%20Software%20Foundation/Tomcat%206.0/webapps/testdrive/W EB-INF/classes/services/EmployeeService.class'.: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
It is usually relatively easy to find fixes through Google searches, but this time, it didn't work. So here I am, expecting a bunch of wise answers from all the nice Flex / FB gurus that I'm sure haunt this forum .
Thanks and best regards.
Marc.

For those who would have the same problem, here is how I could eventually fix it.
Since the Flex Test Drive is sometimes out of sync with flash builder 4, I recreated a project using other help pages on Adobe site :
Entry point :
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08- 7ffd.html
As suggested, I used the New Project wizard to create a new project, with :
Application server type : J2EE
Check the radio button "Use remote object access service : BlazeDS"
Then, as indicated in following pages (section "Accessing BlazeDS")... :
file:///C:/Mes%20documents%20C/Commun/Developpement/Documentation/HT-Tracks/AccessingData/ help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08-7ffe.ht ml#WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-19a3f0e0122be55e1b7-8000
...I selected the "Data / Connect to Data/Services..." menu option, which started the Data/service connection wizard.
There, I selected a BlazeDS (and not Web Services) service type, and everything went fine.
Suggestion to adobe staff : maybe it would be useful to update the Flex Test Drive to reflect Flash Builder 4 ?
Very nice product anyway, so far, congratulations...
Rgds

New Mac Mini + Office 2004 Test Drive

Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but I'll give it a shot...
I bought a new Mac Mini a few weeks ago. I just downloaded a Word document from my e-mail and it opened up Office 2004 Test Drive automatically... I agreed to the User Agreement, opened up my Word document, yada yada...
Now, however, it bugs me that this is trial software and I have 30 days to evaluate it. Thing is I actually own Office 2004 and just never got around to installing it on my Mac Mini yet...
So what is the proper way to install it? Do I need to remove Office Test Drive 2004 first, or do I just run the installer off the Office 2004 DVD? What are the proper steps I need to take?
Thank you,
Keith

Remove MS Office Test Drive
On your hard disk, open Microsoft Office 2004 folder that contains the Test Drive. Any documents you saved in the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive should be moved somewhere in your documents folder.
In the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, double-click "Remove Office". In the Results window, choose Microsoft Office 2004 (including Test Drive) and then click "continue" and follow the prompts.

Office Test Drive is a pain

Bought new MacBook - great!
FireWire all my work and applications from iMac - great!
Start using Office (purchased 2yrs ago) and Test Drive wants me to buy again - not so great!
Removed Test Drive using "Remove" application residing in Test Drive folder and change all my files in "Get info" to open using my original version of Office but get error 10660. Now all my existing and new files will not open and come up with error 10660. The only way to open them is to change "open with" in "Get info" on every single file
(this is 100s) even although I changed "open with" to "chnage all". When I go to the "open with" menu I can still see the old version of Test Drive as default even although I used the remove application - pain in the **
This is another case of Microsoft trying to take over the world. Why has Apple allowed this?
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
thx
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I didn't install Office just used the FireWire cable to transfer. Surely this is the whole idea that you don't need to install your exisiting software again! It was a couple of days before I realised that Test Drive had taken control of my computer.
Thanks for your comments anyway but I still think Apple should re-think pre-loading Test Drive. It has and will cost me time to put it right. Who do you think I should send the bill to?
Ok I've stopped moaning now!
Thanks again

Office Test Drive: relaunching the initial Entourage setup?

I have been playing about with the Office Test Drive--does anyone know how to run the initial setup that Entourage performs on its first launch, again? I was testing the import of an old database; now that I see it works well I want to trash that database and rerun the initial setup again, but there is no option to do so that I can find.
1. "Import" does not work as it won't allow me to select from the Office Identities or Main Identity or Database folder/files. (I want to do this from a backup of the database and not from a program itself. This worked on the initial setup but does not seem to want to work in the "Import" command.)
2. I cannot seem to trash the old identity; when I drag it to the trash it goes into the trash but the trash will not allow me to empty it as it says the Database is in use.
3. Holding down the option key upon launching Entourage worked once--it went to launch Database Utility but quit unexpectedly, and when I launched Entourage it was wiped clean and gave me the "new import" option, but I wasn't prepared to install the new database at that moment and now launching Entourage again does not give me that option. Also, when I have tried that trick again--holding down the option key during the lauch of Entourage--Database Utility launches correctly now! It does not "wipe clean" the program this time.
Should I delete the Office Test Drive and reinstall a new copy? I found it on Mactopia; I'm just worried that the computer will detect that I'm reinstalling Test Drive and refuse to allow it. (I still have 30 days left of the Test Drive as it stands now.)
Any other suggestions?

It doesn't make sense to me that you would have a
problem like this. I have bought 2 iMacs this year.
One of them was about 7 weeks old when I got it and
my installation of the test drive worked just fine.
Bought a 3 month old e Mac last year and used the
test drive for 30 days while awaiting delivery of my
full version of Office.
It has nothing to do with the date the software was
installed but from the date it was first opened.
Wierd problem. Did you buy this Mac new?
yes brand new, from the apple store online at apple.com,, I talked to some guy on the apple help chat thing and he said my machine was manufactured on 10/22/05 I ordered it 11/28/05. Anyway I did trash it lastnight and am going to try and reinstall it it. The tech suggested it then he said he didnt think it would work lol. I also downloaded the program suggested and it works well also.. so either way Im covered now.

Office test drive expires b4 30 days...

i juz purchased macbookpro in early april. it comes with the office 2004 test drive, and i'm supposed to be able to use it for 30 days. but as i've changed the clock once by accident, it expires right away!! no matter how many times i reset the clock in system preferences, it juz doesn't help...
and, i find out that i can't even transfer the excel file back to my PC to edit...seems that the file is somehow "locked" when the office expires. when i transfer the excel to my PC, it changes to 1k, and simply can't be opened.

Microsoft office test drive expired new PowerBook, help

hi. I don't know where else to ask this question. I have had my PowerBook for about 6 hours and I am already frustrated ... I tired to use the Microsoft Office Test Drive that is on the machine only to have it tell me that my 30 day trial has expired. How can it be expired when the PowerBook has only been used for less than 6 hours and Office for the install only? Any suggestions on how to get this to work? Or who to complain to? To Apple? It is almost impossible to complain to Microsoft or to get an answer from them.
I have purchased a copy of Microsoft Office but it hasn't shown up yet.
Thanks for the help.

Microsoft office test drive - Expired??

Hi there. I bought an emac about 2 months ago, and it had 'microsoft office 2004 for mac test drive' which is supposed to be a 30 day free test drive. But as soon as i tried to open it it said it had expired!
I rang up the store and the lady said to drag it to the trash, then re-install it by using my grey 'Mac OS X install Disc'
But when i use the disk and go to 'Optional Installs' i get to the 'custom install' page and there is no 'microsoft office test drive' to tick. under applications it only has iLife, iTunes and about 6 others.
Anyone out there who could help me?

You can download MS Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive from the MS website, also. Here is the link:

Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive Question

Hello all,
Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but I'm looking for help here... or possibly somebody has a forum elsewhere where I might ask this question:
I have recently purchased a brand new Macbook Pro.
I installed Office 2004 (Student/Teacher Edition).
When I double-click on a document created by Word (from my PC that I transferred over), instead of my "real" Word 2004 opening the document... I get the Office 2004 Test Drive opening it...and a warning saying "I have 29 days remaining until it expires".
My question is: How can I either remove the Office 2004 Test Drive and/or get it so that my document is opened with the "real" Office, instead of the test drive?
As I said, I apologize if this is the wrong forum... but if you can please a) direct me to the correct forum or b) help me out with a link... I'd VERY much appreciate it.
Thanks very much!

If you installed (used) the Trial version of Office then merely dragging the folder to the Trash won't do the trick. You will instead have to run the Office Uninstaller (in the /Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office/ folder) and completely remove both the Trial and the licensed version of Office including preferences. Then reinstall your licensed version. This is the only sure way of avoiding any conflicts between the two versions.

Microsoft office for mac test drive

Hi i've just gotten a macbook and have some problems with running microsoft office.
I have the previous 2004 version (11.0) but for some reason, it won't use that as default, and i can't remove the new version (test drive) w/o removing the old one at the same time.
I don't want to have to pay for the new one if i can avoid it. Can somebody tell me what can I do?

Glad to help.

Microsoft Office - Test Drive Complete

I bought a new G5 and sync'd it w/ my old iBook. I purchased Microsoft Office Suite for that computer and now it won't run on my new system. Can someone help me figure out why.

You need to remove the Test Drive (which may have been copied over) before installing the full version.
Make sure you are logged on as an administrator.
Quit any Microsoft Office programs that are running.
In the Finder, click Applications, double-click the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, and then double-click the Remove Test Drive icon.
Click Remove.

Microsoft office test drive

Microsoft Office Test Drive came with my new iMac. I already have Microsoft Office and it was copied over when my files were transfered to my new computer. I would automatically be taken to Test Drive whenever I opened a document I had already created. This became a problem when the Test Drive period was over and it asked me to purchase a registered copy.
My only option was to open my already registered copy of word, excel, etc. and open the file I wanted. This is workable solution, but not I am not enthused.
I have removed Test Drive and now when I try to open a document U get an error message saying "The operation cannot be completed. An unexpected error occured (error code -10660)."
So the computer is obviously trying to locate the Test Drive version that is no longer there. How can I make my registered version the default? I tried searching the message board, but I only found people who were having problems uninstalling Test Drive.

The Office Test Drive version should be removed from the hard drive before installing the full version. The following was copied from Microsoft's Mactopia website:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=office2004td
Note: You should remove the Test Drive version of Office 2004 before installing the complete version.
I'm afraid you need to remove Office 2004 and re-install it.

Is it possible to use Oracle instead of DB2 with Netweaver Test-drive 2004?

Dear all,
Recently I ordered on SAP Knowledge shop the Netweaver Test-Drive 2004 DVD (the 32-bit version for Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)).
Before the installation I had already installed Oracle Enterprise 11g (Release 2). However the DVD installed both AS and DB2.
What I would like to ask is that is it possible to use my already installed Oracle database with Netweaver and
remove DB2 from hard disk?
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh
