Totally Clueless & Need some help!

Ok so i have my first Macbook Pro... im not a computer wizz and really know nothing about them. So i need some help!
I have tried to install Snow Leopard and the installation finishes but nothing has changed? I dont have any of the new functions im still running on the normal Safari not Safari4, I have tried to download Safari4 but it says "Safari cannot be installed on this disk, this update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer"
I went into the apple menu and into 'about this mac' and it says im running on OS X 10.6.
Its like it has installed SL.. but nothing has been actually installed properly!
HELP! And dumb it down for me!!! LOL

Thank you for your help. One more if I may.
If I open my MacBook Pro 10.6 SL in the normal manner then go to About This Mac > More Info > Software, the System Software Overview among other things shows. 64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No.
If I Restart my computer holding down the 6 and 4 keys the answer then becomes Yes.
My question is do I really have to concern myself about this or, can I just start my computer in the normal manner and forget the No or Yes?

Please I need some help with a table

Hi All
I need some help with a table.
My table needs to hold prices that the user can update.
Also has a total of the column.
my question is if the user adds in a new price how can i pick up the value they have just entered and then add it to the total which will be the last row in the table?
I have a loop that gets all the values of the column, so I can get the total but it is when the user adds in a new value that I need some help with.
I have tried using but as I need to set the toal with something like total
    totalTable.setValueAt(total, totalTable.getRowCount()-1,1); I end up with an infinite loop.
Can any one please advise on some way I can get this to work ?
Thanks for reading

Need some help with color on a column.

Hello
I need some help on how I can set the color on either column header or the whole column.
I have a report with where the first row display a total sum. The rows under that are htmldb_item.text where the user may input some values.
The sum of these textboxes should match the the total column on top. If it does not match then the header or column should be marked red.
I have one pl/sql prosess where i check this, and i return a message for that column, can I in this prosess set the column color for the report?
report looks like this
total1----total2----total3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
box1-----box2-----box3....
so if the sum of all the box1s do not match total1 then column or header is red.
thanks,
Anders

Hi Anders,
have a look at Carls example: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:7:3740381051529350
It works with row template, but maybe you can change it for working with column templates.

Need some help with MDX formula

Hello, I am not finding any good documentation on MDX formulas, there is a specific one that I need some help with....could someone please elaborate what exactly does this formula mean? thanks.
(MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],
CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIMEDIM%].
[%TIMEBASELEVEL%]))

If new MEASURE gets added to Measure's table , in BPC Client , etools->client Options-> Refresh Dimensions should get the new measure into the CurrentView .IF not try etools->client Options-> Clear Local application information .
Formula 2 :
(MEASURES.SIGNEDDATA,
CLOSINGPERIOD(%TIMEDIM%.
%TIMEBASELEVEL%))
This formula is used to retrieve AST & LEQ account values.
If current time member is at monthlevel ,ie ClosingPeriod of 2011.FEB is the current member it self ,and would retrieve 2011.FEB value.
If Current time member is at quarter level then ClosingPeriod of 2011.Q1 is 2011.Mar ,and would retrieve 2011.MAR value.
If Current time member is at year level then ClosingPeriod of 2011.TOTAL is 2011.DEC ,and would retrieve 2011.DEC value.
Formula 1 :
MEASURES.SIGNEDDATA
Irrespective of the level of the Time , MEASURES.SIGNEDDATA would retrieve current Time member value.This formula is used to retrieve INC & EXP account values
if current time member is at month level,2011.FEB , 2011.FEB value is retrieved.
if current time member is at quarter level,2011.Q1 , 2011.Q1(JANFEBMAR) value is retrieved.
if current time member is at year level,2011.TOTAL , 2011.TOTAL(JAN,FEB,....,DEC) value is retrieved.
Hope this helps.

Need some help and guidance please!

Hi everyone,
I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end. In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US. Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional. Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error. I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.
I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie. He/she said that she could see no issue. (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well. He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning. They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP. I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP. I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device. The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor.
That is where I stand. HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware. I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support. Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue? I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair. If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?

Dear ndjumpball,
I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice. Regretfully, I do not. I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school. My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7. Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable. I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for: decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay. Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too. It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard. Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment. Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install. In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you. The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care: "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not. If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology... Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series. (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working. After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro. After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
My personal recommendation: clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install. Bottom line: your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine. You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent! :-)

HT204291 When am watching live news on air play it shows only for one minute 30 seconds I need some help?

When am watching live news on air play it only shows for one minute 30 seconds ,, I need some help?

First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
"First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
"Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi guys,
I am a bit clueless here. I just purchased the Yoga 10+ HD tablet and all was fine. Today I realised that my power button is constantly blinking (every 3 seconds). I cant boot the tablet the usual way by pressing the button. Clicking on it for more than 10 seconds won't change anything eiter. What is this and how can I get my tablet back to work?
PS: If I connect my tablet to my PC I get more than 12+ harddrives which can't be accessed and differ between 550kb up to 12gb.
I seriously need some help. I think its somehow in sleep mode or so. I don't know how to fix this.
thx for any solution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok guys, got it. All fine. HAd to push button more than 30 secs. All fine now.

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

TS1702 I need some help the apps were downloading slowly

The apps downloaded but it didn't cause it's stuck in downloading mode what should I do?
The iOS 6 update didn't work.
Please I need some help.

Talking Angela and Ginger didn't download.
Talking Santa didn't update.

Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file. The backup file is located here. You can delete that backup once you get a successfull backup.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!

There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.

Need some help in debugging this exported script

Below is DDL generated by visio forward engineering tool . The example below consists of 2 test tables with one foreign key.
