    I recently migrated my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8, using the Snow Leopard CD I purchased from Apple. Since then I have noticed a strange ozone smell coming from the MacBook in the area where the hinges are to open and close the unit. I was told by Apple that it probably is not serious and is coming from the fans in the MacBook. It is true that the smell/odor is more intense when the fans are working. Apple said I should take the MacBook to an Apple Store to have the hardware checked out. Everything seems to be working correctly. I am backing up automatically wirelessly to a Time Capsule, which I had not done until recently, although I had purchased the Time Capsule in 2009. I have not noticed this odor before. Does anyone suspect something more serious that may be going on?

    You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS.  I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before.  I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure.  Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

    hi all,
    with the help of cursor select statement i am writing some columns into the text file. while writing into the file in between i want to write something which belongs to others cursor. shall i close the first cursor and reopen it again..
    is its works?

    If you are using for loop the you don't need to open and close the cursor like:
    SQL> set autot off
    SQL> begin
      2     for i in (select ename, deptno, sal from emp)
      3     loop
      4             for j in (select dname from dept where deptno = i.deptno)
      5             loop
      6             dbms_output.put_line ('Ename:' || i.Ename ||'  Dept Name:'|| j.dname);
      7             end loop;
      8     end loop;
      9  end;
    10  /
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> set serveroutput on
    SQL> /

  • I can't close the Numbers spreadsheet anymore, nor navigate on it. I can open and close the App Numbers though. What can I do?

    Hi! I was playing around with my iPad and was opening and closing different Apps. Suddently the file I opened in Numbers got stuck. I can't navigate on it anymore, neither can I go back to the other Numbers files.
    Could you please advise, what I can do here.
    Thanks!

    Quit Numbers completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Numbers by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Numbers icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Then try Numbers again.

  • When i set the options not to have the translate open and close the program when I reopen it is back to original settings

    The program doesn't hold the preferences like the translate page which I don't care for to leave it off and when you reopen Firefox it is back to the original settings.

  • Is there an advanced action that will open and close the TOC?

    I like that in CP5, Adobe has allowed users to change the icon associated with opening and closing a layered Table of Contents.  With that said, unfortunately, they show up so small, I can't see what I created.  So, I was wondering, is there an advanced action or action script that I could assign to a button that will allow my users to open/close the TOC?
    Thoughts?
    Eric

    The code that zcarr posted works fine for me. I have been using it for a long time: http://www.cpguru.com/2010/01/14/tutorial-open-close-the-adobe-captivate-toc-from-your-own -button/
    However - it depends on where you use the code. If you use it in an SWF embedded/inserted into your Captivate project then it will work. If you use the code from a Flash shell that loads a Captivate SWF then it wouldn't work since the paths to the functions would be all wrong. The same goes if you use it in a play bar since again the paths would be wrong. The code is still valid though so all that would need to be changed would be the paths to the functions.
    Also the posted code and my link is AS2 code so it wouldn't work in Captivate 5. I'm sure that the above code could be convereted to AS3 but it would require a little "hack" in order to get to the right level of the Captivate SWF so the paths would work. It would probably be easier to build a small widget that would accomplish this if it's for AS3 projects.

  • Open and close the chart

    Hi All,
    I am developing a dashboard that has drill down. Below is the scenario.
    Clicking on a push button should open a chart 1 with a a close button and hide chart 1 and clicking on chart 2 should open chart 3 with close button and hide chart 2 with a close button.
    closing chart 3 must bring me  back to Chart 2. Close on Chart 2 brings me back to Chart 1
    i am new to BO. Has anyone done this before. Please share ideas.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    You can achieve this using Lable based menu component and with chart also.Based on the selection of the label based menu,the charts can be displayed.Take Label Based menu Source Data as B6:B8 and Destination as B5.Now take Chart1 Dynamic visibility Status (under Behaviour Tab)as B5 with Key 1 similarly for chart 2 Dynamic Visibility status Cell as B5 with Key as 2 and for chart 3 also Dynamic Visibility status as B5 cell with Key as 3.Make the Label based Menu Behaviour Tab-->Selected Item-->Type is Label and Item is Label 1 to select the by default as first chart

  • I am trying to move my bookmarks to a new computer and the procedure on the website just doesn't work, everything looks right but when I open Firefox on the new computer the bookmarks aren't there, just the defaults.

    The old computer is running Windows XP, the new one Windows 7. I copied the profile folder onto a USB jump drive and moved it to the new computer. When I paste the old profiles on the new computer profiles folder, all dates change to the current date and time but as I said when I restart Firefox and click on bookmarks I get nothing but the original defaults.

    You need to copy the '''contents''' of the old Profile folder into the new Profile folder. Firefox won't recognize the name of that old Profile in the new installation.

  • I open I file and do not open and close the app

    I have a power point file I open in my Ipad, and when I try it the app closes as its loading, no display error or message,
    Is there a maximum file size to open in Ipad?

    I don't think there is an "official" maximum file size to be able to use on the iPad, but I can tell you from personal experience that Excel files that are 6 or 7 MB in size have crashed my iPad original version. If all other PowerPoint files have opened successfully for you, the file may be too large - or the file could be corrupt as well.

  • What is the better way to open and close connection in bean

    Hello, may i ask about the best way to open and close the connection?
    At the first, the connection code is store in Conn class bean. The JSP page will call a method in Process bean to process the query and update of database. the Process bean is using th Conn to connect to database.
    In my process bean, it have a method for each type of sql like select, insert, update, and delete for each tables. Each method will call the Conn to open and close the connection. The jsp page can simply call a method retrieve or update records.
    However, when calling the processUpdate method, it is a method that update a group of tables base on the query result of another group of tables and calculation. If I calling the query method in the same bean file, it will open and close the connection many times (more than 1000 times). After open and close the connection several times, the connection to mySQL will be fail.
    Currently, i include 2 method in Process that is only calling the Conn to open the connection and close connection. When calling the openConnection method, it will also set the boolean connected in the class to true and call Conn to open connection. When calling the closeConnection method, it will also set the boolean connected in the class to false and call Conn to close connection.
    After that, i add some change to the query method which is when the connected is false, it will open the connection by calling the Conn and close the connection themself. If the connected is true, it will not call the Conn to open and close the connection because it already connected to the database.
    Now, i when i calling the query method in jsp, it can open the connection and close the connection individually. When i call the processUpdate in the jsp, this method will calling the openConnection before calling the query and calling closeConnection at the end. It not only faster the process(less open and close), it also no cause the connect to mySQL fail error again. However, it also make the coding in the bean file more longer and complex.
    Is there have any better solution?

    Use connection pooling. This will put the connection management in the hands of the webserver, not your code. Check out this post:

  • When I have two browser windows open, the first with multiple tabs the second a window opened from a link (so just one tab), and close the second window, I receive the Quit Firefox prompt, "do you want to save tabs...?"

    This was happening with FF 3 before upgrading to 4, and was not happening with FF4.0 until the 4.0.1 update was applied, the first time it ran. Same issue on another computer running FF3, so may be a extension related problem.
    If I have three windows open and close the third, I do Not get this. Only when two are opened and one is closed. I could have three, close one, then the second and get the prompt.
