To switch or not to switch.

Hi all ...
I've been using Word (Mac) for a long time. I like a lot of the features and templates in Pages. My question is: "If I create my work in Pages, will my clients (many who are oriented to Word) be able to see, work with, and edit my pages document?"
I am aware that I can save the Pages document as a Word document, but what about the formatting, fonts, etc. Do they convert with ease?
Would appreciate your feedback.

The nicer features in Pages do not convert or do not convert perfectly. If you stick strictly to common fonts they are OK. There is a little glitch that can happen at the tops of pages where an extra return is added and other little oddities.
It is not really suitable for passing backwards and forth from Word for PC and Pages on the Mac. Just the one off transfer of a relatively simple .pages file saved to .doc. Comments don't transfer and security is not compatible.
Rather than speculate, try the demo and transfer the type of material you will be using to see what the result is.

Need help on my conditional logic (to switch or not to switch, that is the question)

I'm trying to write a function that will evaluate two variables, $misc1 and $misc2, they may or may not contain text. Essentially the possible outcomes are this:
1) $Misc1 is blank and $Misc2 is blank
2) $Misc1 is blank and $Misc2 has data
3) $Misc1 has data and $Misc2 is blank
4) $Misc1 has data and $Misc2 has data
if 1, return $null
if 2, return the value of $misc2 + 5 blank spaces
if 3, return the value of $misc1 + 5 blank spaces
if 4, return the value of $misc1 + 5 blank spaces + $misc2
Can I switch this, or does that only work on a single variable?

Thank you mdkelley, ended up with this:
Function Misc-Blank
Param
[string]$Misc1 = $Misc1,
[string]$Misc2 = $Misc2
if(([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc1)) -and ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc2))){return,$null}
if(([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc1)) -and (-not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc2))){return, " $misc2"}
if((-not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc1)) -and ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc2))){return, " $misc1"}
if((-not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc1)) -and (-not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Misc2))){return, "$misc1 $misc2"}

Leopard vs Tiger with Logic/to switch or not to switch

That is the question. Tis nobler to stay with said tried and true tiger or switch to the inevitable new cat on the block.
Hamlet: 1600 and something......... or was it 1500???? 1400??? AD?? BC??? I digress....

Speaking as someone who has recently been forced to go to Leopard by buying a new Mac Pro (my G5 died), I would recommend staying on Tiger for the time being.
I've spent two full days reinstalling and reauthorizing everything from scratch, and am now effectively dead in the water since the following products just don't work right now:
Waves (Gold, V-series, API)
Duende
Access Virus TI
Guitar Rig 2
Garritan (Kontakt 2 player) (This plays but I can't authorize it)
Waves just isn't supported on Leopard yet (I've read that some people have made it work; I can't). Duende doesn't work on either 4/8-core Macs or Leopard, so I'm down on two counts there. The others should allegedly work, but don't, and I have calls into tech support for all of them.
I have read reports (here and elsewhere) of problems with the UAD-1, which is a real killer for me. I haven't installed mine yet to try it.
That doesn't leave me with much, so I'm just sitting here waiting right now...

Software Update Point Switching is not working for some Clients

Hi there,
I found nothing similar here and I hope this is the right section.
I´m running ConfigMgr 2012 R2 where one of the Site Systems from one of the Primaries is located in an untrusted Forest in a perimeter Network. The Site System there has the MP, SUP and DB Roles. In general it works great. The Systems in that untrusted Forest
get the SCCM Agent pushed, see and can install published Software packages and receive Windows Updates. But there are a few systems where everything works, except Windows Updates.
So I had a deeper look at what is happening and found out that the SUP switching is not working for them. They always try to contact the SUP from the Primary, which they cannot reach (this is intended).
From how I understand SUP switching as described here
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/03/27/software-update-points-in-cm2012sp1.aspx#pi140062=1
the Windows Update Agent tries to connect to a SUP every 30 minutes and after 4 failed attempts he will try to connect to the next one until he finds one which works.
As I said before, this seems to work for most systems in the untrusted forest, but some do not make any intentions to switch the SUP.
So my next step was to find out from where the Update Agent can get the information of the available SUPs. I think they either don´t receive the information that other SUPs exist, or if the Information is there, they don´t realize that there´s an error and
make no attempt to switch.
I used the System Center Support Center to gather all Information from some of the systems with that problems (Log Files, WMI information, registry information, policies etc.) but I cannot find where SCCM or the Update Agent store the information which SUPs
are available in my environment.
I´m sure the problem is on the Systems which fail to connect to the right SUP and not in the SCCM infrastructure itself, because for most of the systems everything is working just perfect. Unfortunately in the Blog Post above there´s also no information
where this information is stored and how it is obtained by the clients. In the comments there´s even one post which describes the same problem I have here, but there was no answer. I hope someone can point me into the right direction, because I´m stuck currently.
Things I tried additionally to all the log file / WMI / registry sniffing:
Removing the Software Distribution Folder and restarting the Windows Update Agent
Removing the WindowsUpdate Registry folder in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Windows section in the Registry and restarting the Windows Update Agent.
Tried to reset the WUAgent with wuauclt /Resetauthorization additionally to the steps above.
I also tried to manually set the WUServer and WUStatusServer Keys in the registry to the new Server, but as soon as the next Update Scan cycle runs, the value is set back to the URL of the Primary Sites SUP
Is someone having additional ideas? It seems to me older systems are more affected (which were configured for a standard WSUS before SCCM 2012 was deployed) than newer ones which were installed when SCCM was in place already. But I don´t know what else to
"reset" on those machines without reinstalling them.

Thank you very much for your response. I must have missed that one by looking through numerous Logfiles. In this, there´s indeed a list of all available SUPs. So according to the LocationServices.log the machine should have a choice.
The WMI Key however, contains just one entry and this is the URL of the Primaries SUP which is not reachable in the untrusted forest. Is it OK that the WMI entry includes only one entry? If yes, what process is putting the results from the LocationServices
into WMI? It seems like the Windows Update Agent is feeded from the WMI Key then. If this is the case my problems seems to be the "communication path" between these two components.
Is this the job from the SCCM Agent, the Windows Update Agent or maybe some third component I´m not aware of? I wonder how I can fix this.

External and internal mikes are not automatically switching over either recording or on voice calls

My laptop model name is HP Pavilion dv4-1100ea which is shipped with Vista Home premium 32 bits and has got service pack 1.
Restored the laptop to factory setting since then I am having the following problems; I had the same problem when my laptop was brand new and whenever I reset the laptop to factory setting I get the following problems:
1. External and internal mikes are not automatically switching over either in middle of the recording using sound recorder or while the call in progress on voice calls (skype):
   Using the sound recorder if I start recording the sound with external mike and in-between recording if I switchover from external mike to inbuilt mike and later on when I play back I can only hear the sound up till where I used the external mike during recording, after the switchover to inbuilt mike I cant hear any sound.
   But if I start the recording with inbuilt mike and in between recording if I plug in the external mike and later on when I play back I can only hear the sound up till where I used the inbuilt mike during recording , after the switchover to external mike I cant hear any sound.
   So in brief both my external and internal mikes are working fine, only problem is that if I start recording (using sound recorder) or voice call with one specific mike, I have to continue with it till the end. I can’t switchover to another mike in between the conversation (voice call) or recording, if I do so, I have to select the mike manually in chat software but while recording I cant even select manually because in laptop, it takes the mike whichever is in current use as default mike in recording tab(sound window). The green tick automatically (in recording device tab) switches over according to the use of mike. Though the green tick in the recording tab is switching over automatically according to use of mikes, its not picking up the sound after switch over during recording.
2. And also when I click on recording device tab in sound window and plug in external mike, though the green tick automatically switchovers from internal to external mike, while I speak both internal and external mikes volume meter respond to the sound inputs by rising and falling but if I take out external mike, green tick goes to internal mike and when I speak only internal mike volume meter respond to sound rising up and down not the external mike.
To resolve the issue I have tried following steps with no luck:
1.I have checked the mikes(internal and external) properties, the both mike shows to be enabled in general tab, in level tab the volume is set to 100 and in advanced tab , all options are selected.
2. In device manager I have got only one audio driver named as “IDT High definition Audio CODEC”. I have uninstalled the audio driver and reinstalled it using scan for hardware option
3. Uninstalled the audio driver in device manager and reinstalled the audio driver using recovery manager > advanced option> hardware driver re-installation.
3. I have updated the BIOS(Insyde F.65, 12/02/2010).
4. I tried to update the audio driver using below link but things went more worse so I did system restore (not factory setting though).

Sounds like you need to upgrade to the iPhone 5s
The 5s has Touch ID
You can unlock your phone with your finger instead of typing in a key code
No swiping to unlock either, just touch the home button
You can enrol multiple fingers as well
Here is a video of it in action
http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/videos/#video-touch
Or wait and see what iPhone 6 has to offer
That being said, as desiel vdub posted if the phone is up to your face, the proximity sensor should turn the screen off
And when you lower the phone turn it back on again
Not sure about the phone locking when your on a call doesn't sound right

Location switching does not work on Vista

Hi, my location switching does not work. I have reinstalled my Access Connection several time but still does not work. I have several profiles and I need to switch manually depending on my location profile. My Access Connetion however seem to know the right profile (dot next to the profile indicate it picked up the right wireless signal) but never connect to the profile
Is there any Vista feature that is controlling the access as well? Do I need to disable? I remember the older version of Access Connection will ask to disaable some windows services when using Access connection.
My Config is
- R61
- Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG. File Version 11.1.1.16
- OS Vista 32 Business - with up to date patches
- Access Connection 4.42 for Vista Build 7RCN38WW
Thank you in advance for pointers

My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
Thank you x

Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

My iphone 4 has suddenly ceased to operate with a full battery and switch will not display slider. How can I reactivate it? Is the memory gone? Will T Mobile replace the memory or the phone if necessary?

Hello,
If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
- close all apps by multitasking....
- do NOT keep the brightness to the max
Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)

My iPhone 4s is not turning switch off

My iPhone 4S is not turning switch off.

Try holding the lock and the home bottom until the phone turns black when this happens let go of the home button but keep the lock button held down this will restart your phone ( u wont lose anything ) and then try turning it off again if it still don't work and your iphone is still under warrenty you can either call apple 01212601900 to book a genius appointment or you can do it online then just go in and they will help you resolve the issue or change your phone

I have problem with my iphone 5 lock switch..as lock switch not working properly..and my iphone is not in warrenty.. so plz tell me what i do...

The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

KM Switch (Video not needed) or software solution

*Short version* - I need a USB switch that will allow me to share just my keyboard and mouse with my 3 PCs. Anyone know of one that works good and has that "sniffing" feature as to reduce any USB delay. I tried a 4 port Belkin USB switch, but it wasn't good. I want a KM only hardware or software solution that is convenient and supports my mouse's back button and does not have scrolling issues.
Thanks for any input...
*More details* - I have a monitor on my mac and a monitor on my xp machine. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a 4 port, DVI, USB KVM switch. I already have a 4 port PS/2 KVM switch and I am using it for my windows PCs. I am only using the video from it to switch between the windows PCs. I just want to be able to use my Mac keyboard and mouse (logitech) on all my PCs. I first tried using RDP, but I was not able to use the back button and had some scrolling issues that were unacceptable. Next I decided I would buy a Belkin 4 port USB switch. I just returned it because besides being a bad solution, the mouse locked up continuously. I then tried using KMremoteControl, but I am having trouble getting the license to activate (I emailed the company). From what I understand it is a free program, but they still sell it? Not sure what thats all about, but that also does not allow the back function on my mouse. Basically the best thing is for me to unplug the keyboard and plug it into each computer as I use it. Does anyone know of a good switch, so I don't have to do that? One that is compatible with windows of coarse and has a simple method of switching. The Mac usb extension cable was also incompatible with the Belking switch. Not sure why apple makes such a short cable in the first place.
For anyone who has read this, thank you, I appreciate it.

I have figured out why KMremote was not activating. I installed wireshark to sniff the network and I noticed some DNS issues during the activation process. For some reason it didnt like using my Linksys router as a DNS forwarder. I added the direct comcast DNS entries and it now works. I still dont have the back button on my mouse, but this is the best solution.
Thanks and hopefully this can help someone else.

My devices not automatically switching between Airport Extreme and Airport Express in extended network

I have setup an extended network in my home using an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express. The Extreme is connected directly to the FiOS modem and the Express is being used as the extender. The nework is setup fine, but my devices (MBA, iPhone, iPad) are not switching base stations when the signal becomes poor on the one it's connected to. For example, I am upstairs with my MBA and a great signal as I am connected to the Express. When I move downstairs to where the Extreme is setup, the Wi-Fi connection becomes poor even though I am litterally sitting next to the Extreme. To force it to connect to the Extreme, I need to shutoff the Wi-Fi on the MBA and turn back on. At this point, the MBA will connect to the Extreme with a excellent signal.
Any thoughts on why the MBA is not automatically switching?
Thanks for the help!
Brian

The first troubleshooting step for any kind of network "issue" is a complete power cycle of the network. This gives everything a "fresh start" with new connections.
Power off the entire network.....all devices....in any order you want
Wait a minute or two
Start the modem/router first, and let it run a full minute
Start the AirPort Extreme next and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
Check the network again with the MBA and report on your results
Do not worry about the iPhone and iPad....they are pretty much hopeless as far as automatically switching from one access point to another....but the MBA should if it is working correctly.

To Switch or Not to?

This is to all of you who have switched from Tiger to Leopard:
Was it a good switch?
Martin.

I switched to Leopard and after a few days of disappointment I switched back to Tiger. It was not easy to switch back, but it was worth it.
Leopard adds a few cutesy features and takes away useful ones. Also some of the 3-rd party SW was no longer working as usual. Mail doesn't even display animated gifs anymore. Some of my arriving mail showed up for a split of a second and disappeared forever. Luckily I noticed the sender and asked to re-send their email.
iCal doesn't display the info window anymore. You have to double click on each appointment to see notes or details and then close the window and double click the next appointment.
In the old dock if you clicked and held on a folder it would open in a way that allowed you to then drag over a nested folder and then next until you found what you wanted. No more. The cutesy icons are harder to look through and need additional click to open. I wish they gave an option for the old dock behavior.
The dock now has the ridiculous reflections in it, reflecting the background. All the reflections are distracting and I wish there was a way to turn them off, but there isn't. I was told that some of the Apple SW engineers grumbled about the stupid reflections but were overruled by "someone". If you like your dock on the left or right, you are even more out of luck. The folders open ONLY as icon windows, which makes it difficult to look through, especially if you have a lot of items in it. Try that with your Applications folder and look for what you need!
In my opinion, the only worthwhile feature in Leopard is the Time Machine, but I did not like the external drive's continuous noise. Finally I placed it on the other side of the wall, but noticed that my Mac was making an unusual noise as long as the external drive was mounted. I guess I did not really need a back up every hour!
BTW: The Leopard iCal Database Backup is not compatible with the Tiger iCal. But for me it was worth it to go back to Tiger. It put a smile on my face!
I think I'll wait until the bugs are worked out, ease of use is restored and the 3rd party SW has a chance to make their stuff compatible.
