Testing a System - Over All performance

How can someone assess the 'condition' of a system -
By 'a system' I mean - test everything in the box, cpu, gpu, ram, etc.

If you have your original system disk set, one disk has Apple Hardware Tester. Info on using AHT on the G4 is here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25411
It does a pretty thorough test of those items you mention but reports only "pass" if things are OK. If it finds a problem, it reports in a cryptic code that you may need to post her (or Google it) to get a translation into plain language.
AHT does not test the operating system or drive directories, just hardware.
Without the AHT disk, you need a third-party solution that you'll likely have to purchase. TechTools Pro can test all that stuff plus look for OS problems. Make sure you get a version of TTP that supports your OS level.
Some people who lost their disks have been able to get an AHT disk by calling AppleCare and giving your serial number. There is usually a charge for this but it,s probably much cheapr than buying TTP.

Aperture 3 report card - any feedback on over all performance so far?

Looking to shift from iPhoto 11 to Aperture 3.
I use iMac (just bought a few months ago).
I have over 40,000 photos in current iPhoto.
Looking to get feedback on what you feel are the greatest benefis and drawbacks from moving.
Thanks all!

FWIW:
Aperture vs. iPhoto (listing pros and cons of Aperture based on my experience only):
Pros:
More advanced organization capabilities
Better and more extensive metadata functions (both reading and adding)
Better image adjustment tools (including brushes for local adjustments)
Greater control over export settings
RAW processing has some settings that can be adjusted in the RAW Fine Tuning brick
Cons:
Steeper learning curve
Can use a lot of disk space if you use the external editor function due to creation of TIFF or PSD files for sending to editor (especially true if your Master files are originally JPEG files)
Slow performance may be exhibited with images that need a lot of brushed adjustments applied
Other thoughts:
When Aperture is performing well, it really can't be beat for convenience and control in workflow. If it becomes sluggish, it can be frustrating for some users. As TD commented, the free trial is a great way to see if it both meets your needs and performs well on your hardware.
Since one of my lenses is a kit lense with significant distortion and chromatic abberation on a Nikon D80, I also use a program called DxO Optics Pro when I shoot with that lense. That program is basically designed to be a 'batch' program where you run the images through it and it processes the images for defects automatically (based on lab specs they include in a 'module' which you download for your specific camera body / lense combination) and outputs either JPEG or TIFF (depending on user settings). I really like the results from this process when used for that lense. A huge time saver for lense defect issues in post processing.
If you are looking for speed, that may be of interest if you like the results of the batch processing (which can be modified in pretty much any way). That one also has a free trial and they offer good discounts now and then on the program (which might fit with iPhoto for you if you find Aperture not a good fit).
Hope that helps in some way.

(1) Is there any way that I can get the transition menu to remain on the screen. I select a transition, drag it to the timeline and after I click done I have to start the process all over to perform this action on the next transition. I have premiere elements 12. In older version the menu would stay on the screen.
(2) In pan and zoom how can start zoom on a photo in the original picture and zoom in and the next picture zoom out and the next photo pan from right to left and the next photo pan left to right.
Thanks

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? If you have not already, be sure to update 12 to 12.1, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
But to the immediate questions, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
1. No, it is what it is. But, are you applying the same transition each time? If so, then highlight/select all the clips involved (all at one time), then Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition will do just that for the highlighted/selected clips.
To highlight/select more than one clip at a time, hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard and then click on each clip that you want in the group selection
or
with your mouse cursor draw a rectangle around the clips that you want to select
2. Are you using the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace Pan and Zoom Tool? Or the pan or zoom presets under fx Effects/Presets/? With those you can do pan or zoom, not pan and zoom.
Or, are you in the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor using the pan and zoom effect there? Or, are you using keyframing the Motion Scale property for zoom and the Motion Position property for pan?
Are you asking about photos with landscape or portrait orientation?
The pan and zoom tool does one photo at a time.
Have you read the Adobe documentation on the Pan and Zoom Tool?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSeffff8bffc802084-494411db12fd35452dd- 8000.html
Please review and clarify and then we can get into greater details on this.
Thanks.

A system recovery was performed on my pc. When I re-installed firefox all my bookmarks had disappeared. This happened more than a wk ago so the solution of recovery for 5 days didn't work. Is there any way to recover them from more than 7 days ago?

On Jun 19 my pc wouldn't load Windows & HP decided to do a system recovery on my pc on Jun 20.
Prior to the system recovery being performed all of my files & programs were burned onto discs.
A few days after the recovery was performed I re-installed Firefox. It was the same day that the newest version of Firefox was released. I was unable to reload the version I was previously using (I believe that it was version 4).
After re-installing Firefox I discovered that I lost all of my Firefox bookmarks.
I thought that the bookmarks would be on the back-up discs but I can't find them on the system recovery files that I loaded onto my pc.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a HP G60 series laptop.

Thanks for the info.
I did find the folder as described above. Under Profiles the sub-directory I found was: t6jyvmtf.default
There are 2 files in that sub-directory:
blocklist - which is an XML document &
bookmarks - which is Firefox document
When I selected bookmarks the document that opened does not contain (to my knowledge) the bookmarks.
The heading for the page is '''''Bookmarks''''' & right underneath that heading is '''Get Bookmark Add-ons'''
Underneath that is a heading '''Bookmarks Toolbar Folder''' with the following under it:
Add bookmarks to this folder to see them displayed on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Getting Started & Latest Headlines
That is followed by the heading '''Mozilla Firefox''' which has the following underneath it:
Help and Tutorials, Customize Firefox, Get Involved & About Us
I checked each of the items that could be selected but none of them had my bookmarks.
I also checked the blocklist XML document - it opened Windows Internet Explorer with what appears to be programming language (although I could be wrong). At the top of the document it says - ?xml version="1.0" ?
followed by
- <blocklist xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/addons-blocklist">
Should I be selecting one of the above to find the bookmarks & I'm just not seeing it?

UWL - Different numbers for wf-templates over all SAP Systems are needed?

Hi Experts,
we have the situation that we have three systems with a invoice receipt workflow. In all systems they are the same template numbers (e. g. WS99900012). Now it is a good solution because every development at the workflow could be transported to the other two systems and good is.
Now we heard that all template number must be a distinct number over all systems. Otherwise the UWL will not find the correct workflow in the correct system.
Is this true? Or have the UWL another attribute except the template number to find the correct combination system/workflow?
Thank you for your help!
Bernhard

Hi,
When you configure the UWL for your workflow tasks, there will be configuration XML file(s). You either generate them automatically or build them manually, or something between these two. The thing that I mentioned will be done in the configuration file(s).
Now I cannot find any official document about this topic. But as I said I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. I have configured UWL to work with multiple backend systems. And your case is basically the same. The only difference seems to be that your task IDs will be the same for each system, but the different backend system objects should handle this. Of course I cannot be 100% sure about this, and sure there might be at least a bug in the UWL that it cannot handle these.
The uwl configuration you can find in portal in System admin -> System config -> UWL.
Regards,
Karri

Hello Brian Delaney,
It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
2.Select an account, then click Remove.
Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
To add the account again, click the rather than the as described above and retest the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Joe

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

Did you find a solution?

[Solved] Foreach loop that loops over all files in a folder does not consider first file found

Hello,
I have a foreach loop in SSIS (as part of Visual Studio 10 and with SQL Server 2012).
It loops over all files in a folder (ForEach File Enumerator).
I set the folder: OK
Traverse Sub folders: OK
I have set up a Variable in Variable Mappings called FileName so it shows User::FileName: OK
Index of variable is 0: OK
It almost works ok. Except that the first file it finds is never considered.
I set a breakpoint then and the first file it finds, is shown in black in the watch variable window. All subsequent files found are shown in red font. When I change the names of the files so another file is the first file found then it skips the other one
which now is the first file.
What is going on here? Why does SSIS skip the first file it finds in a foreach file loop?
Any suggestions highly appreciated.
Thank you
Andi
Andreas

"red font - interesting, any example to show us (image)
It would be interesting to share with us whether you use any file masks or expressions.

It appears a variable value turns red when it changes between breakpoints. It started black for the first value (the first file, obtained BEFORE the execution reached the breakpoint), and then turned red. I was able to reproduce this behavior on a test environment.
However, it did not skip any files.
OP, please set up the test shown in the image below. Create a breakpoint in the sequence container for the "OnPreExecute" event.

Whenever I try to install itunes on my windows 7 laptop, itunes takes over all my other programs. What can I do?

First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

How to test my system?

Ok, I finally have my system working:

Order types entered in a Ztable, system will not perform material listing.

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement where user will enter the list of order types to be excluded from material listing through a custom table.
For all those order types entered in the custom table the system will not perform any material listing check, regardless if the material is existing in the material listing.
Can you please tell me how to do this through coding???Any particular exit or where can i code this.???
Many Thanks in Advance,
Rajendra

Swagat,
Thank you for your response, what I am still not getting is - even in manual transfers via LT10 shouldn't the system restrict the movements to certain storage types? If you think from the shopfloor perspective the WM material movements are done at WM level only - meaning moving materials from one storage type to another and LT10 is widely used as it is one step tcode.
I know we can restrict movements when storage class is assigned in search strategy, but this applies only to hazardous materials. The material in question is not hazardous so I am still thinking if there is any way to restrict material movements.
Do you have any documentation link which mentions search strategies are not taken into consideration during manual transfer? If yes please send that would be helpful.
Once again thanks for your time.

How should i increase over all buffer hit ratio.....

Hi all,
As shown below if my DB2 databse buffer Qulaity is low .. How should i increase over all buffer hit ratio..
Please advice on any sap standrd notes or procedures
Number                                    1
Total Size                           80,000 KB
Physical Reads                         6.65 ms
Physical Writes                        0.00 ms
Overall Buffer Quality                86.05 %
Data Hit Ratio                        85.79 %
Index Hit Ratio                       87.50 %
No Victim Buffers                259,079,295
--rahul

One of the options is to simply increase the bufferpool size using the following command
db2 alter bufferpool immediate <bufferpool name> size <new bufferpool size>
However, this will affect the hit ration for a particular bufferpool. If you have more than one bufferpool, you need to identify the bufferpool(s) with worst hit ratio. In the SAP DBA Cockpit, check using
Performance -> Bufferpool
The victim buffer information is only useful in case you use alternate page cleaning.
Note that there are other options to fight bad bufferpool hit ratio - however, with your small bufferpool size (80MB) maybe increasing the size is the appropriate step.

How to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012

Hi Everyone,
how to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012 and also I had one system which is by accidentally deleted, I know the system name, but I cannot able to add the system manually to Device Collections, is
there any solution for this...
I had discovered many systems using discovery, I recovered some systems but not all the systems..
Please suggest...
saikumar CH

just a follow up on Torstens reply. You will see the discovery records show up in the console without having the client installed. That will be corrected when clients perform a hardware inventory re-sync. It all happens automatically, no panic and don't
reinstall the clients.
