The New Dashboard Calculator

The new Dashboard in OS X Lion changes the entire screen and makes the desktop disappear. I used to like to be able to use the calculator while staring at whatever I was working on beneath it. I can no longer do this. I have to switch back and forth between the dashboard and the desktop constantly, which makes adding several numbers from a document at once very difficult. Is there a way to use dashboard the way it was in Snow Leopard, where it hovered above my workspace?

Go into Mission Control's preferences, de-select "Show Dashboard as a space".

Selecting an object fails when creating a new dashboard using the 'New Dashboard and Widget Wizard'

Hi,
I am using SCOM 2012 SP1
I have recently been experiencing an issue when trying to create a new dashboard using the wizard. I get to the step where you select a group or object to add to the Scope and Counters section. When I try to search for a particular object such as a
port or interface it times out and returns an error. The error is shown below:
Please provide the following information to the support engineer if you have to contact Microsoft Help and Support :
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Presentation.DataAccess.DataAccessDataNotFoundException: Exception reading objects ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.UnknownDatabaseException: The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not

It appears to be complaining about internal resources, but we have not experienced this issue before and both the management and SQL servers have plenty of resource. The databases are held on a seperate dedicated sql server and I have noticed that when I
try to search for the object, the sqlservr.exe process immediately consumes 50% CPU while the query is running. As soon as it ends (errors) the sqlservr process drops back to a reasonable number.
No changes have been made to either the management server or sql server. We were able to create dashboards one day, but then recieved this error the next.
Has anyone else seen this issue? or can anyone explain what is happening?
Many thanks

Hi,
Asposted earlier,hadt he same problem
when creating a Dashboard widget type
State.
Ones olution I found for this was as follows:
When creating the State widget,the option
to specify the criterion I left blank
and finished the creation of the dashboard.
With that managed to solve the problem.Of course this
is not the solution, or the root cause
of the problem.
I will examine more about this issue, and sohave
the ultimate solution and why such behavior,I post
here.
thank you

Populating Deployment/Packages on the new Dashboard?

I've just updated to the new CCP on the systems I use to build Windows and Mac install packages. The enhanced Deployment panel sounded like something we really needed, particularly the ability to get timely notifications about updates. However, when I opened it up after updating CCP and went to the Deployment/Packages tab, it told me "No Packages created so far." Is there any way to point it to the (large) library of install packages I already have built or will this just work with packages I build from here on?
Thanks,
Ric

I had re-created my ear project with the same parameter and it's work.
I hope, it won't be necessary to do this often.

New depreciation calculation

We are in an upgrade Project (4.6C >> ECC 6.0).
We have activated extension EA-FIN and the new depreciation calculation was activated automatically. We have to execute transaction AFAR to correct the values of all our assets but differences are too big sometimes. On the other hand, the depreciation values proposed by the system are not correct (we have the simplest depreciation key: linear !!!!).
Has somebody had this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Fernando.

hello,
i am suffering from the same problem, our TRM consultants activatede EA-FS for their moudle along with EA-FIN.
the later component resulted in change in the calculation of Deprn (for Dep Term assets) and Interest Calculation (for all assets in general),
this has resulted in exhorbitant amount of posting proposed thru AFAR,
i don;t know how to get rid of this,
pls check the SAP Note 965032 (v.imp.) for this which narrates about the shift in the base base for Interest calculation etc. (para (g) )
the only advice i have given so far is not to run AFAR in the actual mode..wait till year end & then after year change in the first period of next year, run AFAR to incorporate the changes for re-calculations...
this will spread the number for all the postings through out all the open periods (all 12),
best regards,
~r.

Can I copy and paste numbers to the Dashboard calculator?

I thought I used to be able to copy whatever number from Calculator to other apps. Is this not possible?

HI,
I can't get the Dashboard Calculator to do that but I can the Mac Calculator app. But I used the Menu Bar; Edit/Copy Edit/Paste to get it work, not the keyboard shortcuts.

How do I get my calculator back after installing the new software

How do I get my calculator back after installing the new iO7 software?

I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.

Creating the new User in Dashboard

Select user from the left pane.
In the right pane of the window Right Click & select New User.
A User window will open. Here you can give username,Description & password.
You can also give the Privileges to the Group membership also.
Hope this will clear.

The newer firefoxes always show "no responding" without actual overloading calculations

after these recent serial software upgrades from firefox 4-6, I ALWAYS have this problem that every few minutes it will stop responding while I don't have much more tabs open than usual or have multiple video clip running tabs at the same time or whatsoever, but it just keeps behaving like this. It seems I'm not the only one who have this frustrating experience, but unfortunately this problem is still not fixed.

After over 2 months dealing with this issue, I have now found a fix that seems to be working for now. I have done it on a few computers and seem to working just fine. We had a way here that we used to fix this. It was to take the Explorer.exe file from the
windows folder and add it to the system32 folder (copy and paste it). Then right click on that file in the system32 folder and send to desktop (or you can just send a shortcut to the desktop right from the windows folder also works). Unpin the current one
from the taskbar. Open the new shortcut on the desktop and pin it back to your taskbar. This seems to work on some computers. Not all of them. For the next step, you do need to have this done though. Go to your control panel - Administrator tools - scroll
all the way down to Services (you will need admin rights to do this) and run the program. Scroll down to Windows Search and double click it. You will want to stop the service and change the startup type to Disabled. This seems to work without restarting the
computer but it is a good idea to do this anyway. There seems to be an issue on some computers with the indexing causing it to not respond. I’m not saying this is the problem with all of them. If you read the other post, you can see there
are other options to try also. Some issues are also .dll files. In this area here are almost all of the possible fixes to this issue. Hope it will help others out. Good luck
PS. Sure hope Microsoft will fix this issue for good some day. But I dont think that will happen.

Trackpad "Double Clicks" on Dashboard Calculator

This is stressing me out to no end. Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my dashboard calculator double enters every digit I click. I haven't had this issue anywhere else but the default calculator on the dashboard. I can see from the rest of the threads I've read that it is to do with the software development. Has anyone found a solution for this problem? Every thread I read went dead before any solution came about (way too much rhyming in that sentence). I will note that if I "right click" the buttons on the calculator or enter them through my keyboard, it works fine. Please someone tell me I can fix this - I use it all the time!

Hi Jeff,
I have the exact same problem. Were you able to solve it? I also see weird behaviour in mail which has a lag of a click. If I click on one message the click doesnt register, then I click on another and the previous message click registers. Very annoying.
I went to apple and they set up a new user for me. It does not happen with this new user so it could be something to do with preferences, but noone seems to know which.
The Apple Genius suggested to either backup/swipe and then manually pull all my data back (not a full restore since that would likely re-instate the same problem) or to manually move my data from one user to the other.
Both of these options would be very time consuming so I am hoping there is another way.
I am very careful with what I install on my mac, I have very few apps installed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Bobby

Using the new imac keyboard on the macbook pro

is there a software update that allows the use of the new features of the imac keyboard when hooked up to a Macbook pro (core2duo) It would be great if the screen brightness, dashboard keys, etc would function as they are labeled.

I suppose you're thinking of the 27" iMac that might be used as an ext screen and/or the 24" LED.
Both come with a MiniDisplayPort input - that will work with current MBpros. If you want to connect an older MacBookPro with only a DVI connector you'll need an additional DVI to MiniDP converter.
Such animals exist and cost approx 100 Euro like this one: http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-p-17859.html

I hate the new Z10, handing it over to my wife

I am a Blackberry poweruser. I have Blackberry everywhere along with all accessoirs. The background is, that I am travelling with 4 phones, for every country I have businesses in one phone. I bought the Playbook, to have a quick online banking done and to bigscreen view my emails. When talking emails - I have overall 32 email accounts, most of them with complicated server settings and I was p***ed having to add them one by one (not all of them are working).
Now I bought the Z10, about which I read before and I was excited while waiting for it to arrive.
To make a long story short - I hate it.
The only thing, that migrated from my 9900 was my address book with 960 entries. Email accounts needed to be add manually (10 of the above).
- No password keeper (needed to download it separatly - why?)
- No free google maps (dont tell me about sideload)
- No "select all" function in messages (it does happen, that after a meeting I have to delete almost every message out of a hundred one by one (also dont remind me of the select multiple function)
- Blackberry Bridge - why having a Playbook with the Z10, when nothing but the internet connection is shared? I could read/write messages, tasks, calender, no I can do nothing. I don't really need the Playbook anymore, because it lost its main ability. Over my 9900 i had the full internet speed on my Playbook, over the Z10 i have literally 59 kb / s!
- I hated to download another app for the new OS - why is the desktop software still available when link is needed to get to make it work?
- The maps are available for half of the countries I am travelling in. No Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia?
- When sleeping I had my 9900 turned off and it went on for the alarm in the morning. When shutting down the Z10, there is no possibility to have the alarm bring the phone back on. So basically you need to turn the phone on, to get the alarm working, which should have worked 30 minutes ago.
- I can change the sound for let's say the telephone but there is only the one loudness - no raising sound available. No possibility to change sounds for each email account.
- Most of all - What the f**k happend to the perfectly working push mail? Don't tell me, that messages arrive faster than they did, because the don't. When deleting a message on the Z10, I need to do the same on the Playbook and on my PC(s). I know why - RIM thought "why having customers to get extra blackberry plans, when Apple doesn't do that? We could sell the new phone to anyone, even kids and housewifes" - Here is why i hate it - this is what made Blackberry big. Some time ago a friend asked me, what in particular is so good with Blackberry phones (she's a Samsung user) and I said it's the email possibilities. She said, that she'd also check her emails over her smartphone, then I said, that it was faster and more reliable. What can I tell her know? Maybe "Now I have the same s**t you have, but I paid for it a little more and have less apps available".
- When clicking BBM on the hub, you only get to see active chats, you need to enter the app from the menu, to get the contacts list.
Good things to say about that phone compairing to 9900 is the camera and its focusing, the calculator
My wife likes it (she also has a 9900). It's "cute" and it has linkedin app and she is using the phone only for private use, so she's getting it. Too bad she is not also a facebook, twitter and what not user. Then she would be thrilled about this smart(?)phone of RIMs.
If RIM is going to concentrate on OS10, forgetting about professional users and forgetting about OS7, that this will be my last Blackberry phone and the last for my companies - and we have over 60 of those. (And no, we don't use BES).
Sorry for the chaotic thread, but I am just expressing my anger.

they thought moving away from BIS was a good idea? I just dont get it.
Consider...
In some regions of the world, BIS was included at no additional cost. In other regions, BIS included unlimited BIS data usage. In still other regions, BIS is an add-on cost on top of the also-required "normal" data plan.
Example -- in the USA, there are no low-cost unlimited BIS plans. The lowest cost BIS plan I could find was US$50/month, and included very limited data usage (250MB, I think). By abandoning BIS and allowing services to function via a "normal" data plan, I am able to operate my Z10 for a mere US$30/month which includes 5GB of 4G data (throttled after that level). So, for me, abandoning BIS actually allowed me to have a fully functional BB again where, when BIS was required, the monthly cost factor made that prohibitive.
While we cannot know the true "insider" information that surrounded their decisions, for some in the world BB10 will allow them to come back to BB where it was previously not affordable. In other regions, things will be a different trade-off. But it's all moot anyway...it is what it is, with benefits for some, and losses of function for others. And that result is actually pretty typical in the world...businesses must make decisions, and it is fully known that it's impossible to make 100% of the population happy.
Good luck!

Use the new aluminium keyboard on a PC with Windows XP

Hello all,
That post is describing the problems I have when using the new apple aluminium keyboard on a PC using the windows XP keyboard drivers found on the boot camp CD (1.4)
This is my first post here so please be kind with me
First, let me know in case there is a better section where I should post that post.
I know that what I will ask here may not be a supported scenario. I understand that. But anyway. Here it is.
I am using Windows XP on a PC not a mac computer.
I bought one of the new aluminium keyboards. I love it, it's excellent. I know that the box says it requires mac os X 10.4 and up... I understand al that.
Because it is an USB keyboard, I thought I like it, let's try it on a PC. It worked but the letters on the keyboard are not placed like those on a PC.
Then I tought, why not use the driver for that keyboard provided on the bootcamp CD. I bought the keyboard. I own all my licences, so why not?
First I had a lot of troubles extracting those drivers from the bootcamp CD. I use Transmac for that.
A long story short. It's working and I'm typing that post right now on my cool keyboard.
so why am I here? Because it's not working perfectly.
All the keys are working perfectly, only the companion softwares are not.
I'm unable to launch the bootcamp dashboard, I have the icon in my systray but when I try to open the dashboard I get:
Boot Camp
An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings.
You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrative privileges and try again.
OK
I understand that. I guess this is related to the boot camp dual boot feature.
I guess that if this was working I could access to the bootcamp option panel and eventually have the opportunity to get access to the keyboard options? maybe I'm guessing wrong.
So, what I'm asking here is for the apple developpers working on the windows drivers for the apple hardware.
Do you think that you could test your drivers on PCs ? I'm pretty sure you could sell some more keyboard to the PC peoples as your keyboards are trully excellent.
The 'problems' I have are the following:
- I cannot lock or unlock the fn key, what I would like to do is use the F7 to F12 keys by default and press the fn key if I ant to access to the scpecial features, like for sound and CD eject
- kbrd.exe does not always start automaticaly. And when I start it by hand my computer freezes for about ten seconds
- the keyboard layout should only be changed for the apple keyboard, not for all the keyboards connected to the PC. Because I have two keyboards attached to my computer, my previous pc keyboard and the new apple keyboard. The layout on the PC keyboard is now the same as for the apple keyboard. this is wrong as it renders my previous keyboard useless. why do I need another keyboard? because that other one is cable less, meaning I can use it to control my PC when I'm not in front of it. But now, with the apple keyboard drivers this is not longer possible
- an option to have to press fn+eject to eject the CD would be nice. this will avoid me pressing eject by accident when I try to press the back delete key
- also as the drivers exist, why not let people like me download them outside of bootcamp for the kind of scenario I'm describing here?
That would all be very nice.
If you need a tester for that scenario, count on me,
Thank you for your comprehension about me asking such a question
I love that keyboard and do not intend to stop using it,
John.

Hello spidermains,
Happy to see that I have a friend in that adventure
Look I have a blog entry here:
http://www.happytocode.com/post/Can-I-use-the-new-Apple-USB-Aluminium-keyboard-o n-Windows.aspx
That post describes all the steps I followed to extract the drivers from the dual boot camp CD.
I'm using a PC, only a PC. I do not have any Apple computer (yet).
When I mention boot camp, I mean the boot camp CD on one side and the boot camp utilities on the other side. To be more specific the tool I'm talking about is the kbrmgr.exe
That tool sits in the systray and is handling the special keys of the keyboard.
If you have other questions... let me know,
John.
