Two installations, two drives, two different results.

I have a cheap and cheerful IOMEGA external drive, firewire connection, which had a full up to date Leopard OS from which I run Disk Warrior and TechTool. I like to keep them at a distance.
As a precaution I ran the Snow Leopard upgrade on this and it did its business without a hitch.
I proceeded to upgrade my main HD, full housekeeping done, again all went smoothly, but I found that *Address Book* came over empty and the Mail application was extremely buggy , requiring Force Quit to exit each time. Time Machine/Time Capsule to the rescue, all 9 hours of it.
A rainy day prompted me to try again, same result, same recovery method.
I checked out my external drive to find Mail and Address Book working quite nicely, thank you, but its not where I want to be, and Mail is my most used application.
I would hope that this would give a clue to where the problem lies, obviously, the Snow Leopard upgrade disk is not the culprit.
Any advice would be most welcome, pitched to the level of an ex-Windows, relative newbie Mac owner. I thought I had left this sort of thing behind!
Thank you

I've been to your web-site, idyllic , don't know why you bother sticking your head in front of a computer screen.
Thanks! I'm basically lazy, and photography requires some actual effort, while computers require just sitting on your butt... Seriously, though, I do tend to spend my time on many different pursuits.
I have the original disks that came with the computer (10.5).
What say you if I did an "Archive and Install" , preserving users and network settings, hopefully, then updating the resultant OS up to the present and then using the Snow Leopard Upgrade disk.
That would be worth a try, assuming you're doing an Archive & Install over a restored copy of your old Leopard system. You wouldn't be able to install Leopard over Snow Leopard without an Erase & Install (I think). This would replace some components of your system, and might fix whatever problems are causing your issues.
About 20 months have gone by since then, perhaps the Combo updater would cover it?
If you're going to install 10.5, then immediately install Snow Leopard on top of that, I don't know that I would bother with updating 10.5 to 10.5.8 first. You should get the same result either way, but the update would take a lot of time.
As I write this I'm beginning to feel that there may be hundreds of reasons of not doing this, but feel free to throw cold water on it.
Well, it might not work and you might still have to do a clean install... but it's worth a try if you've got the time to try it.

  • Execute the same query twice, get two different results

    I have a query that returns two different results:
    Oracle Version : 10.2.0.1.0
    I am running the following query on the Oracle server in SQL*Plus Worksheet.
    SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM AEJOURNAL_S1
    WHERE CHAR_TIME BETWEEN TO_DATE('12-AUG-10 01:17:39 PM','DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS AM') AND

    ORDER BY ORDD DESC;
    The very first time the query is run, it will return a count of 259. The next time the query is run, lets say, 10 seconds later, it will return a count of 260. The above query is exemplary of the kind of thing I'm trying to do. It seems like the more fields filtered against '%', the more random the count return becomes. Sometime you have to execute the query three or four times before it levels out to a consistent number.
    I'm using '%' as the default for various fields, because this was the easiest thing to do to support a data-driven Web interface. Maybe I have to 'dynamically' build the entire where clause, instead of just parameterizing the elements and having default '%'. Anyway, to eliminate the web interface for the purpose of troubleshooting the above query was run directly on the Oracle server.
    This query runs against a view. The view does a transpose of data from a table.
    Below is the view AEJOURNAL_S1

    DanIn fact you the first time you ran the query the data has been retrived from disk to memory , in the second time the data is already in memory so the respnse time should be faster ,but if you chagne any condition or column or letter case the optimizer will do the first step (data will be retrived from disk to memory )

  • Why do I get two different results from the same coefficients?

    I am getting two different results from the Polynomial Evaluation function.
    For the first one, I am getting the coefficients from a Polynomial Fit function.  I feed the coefficients from the Fit function into the Poly Eval function and get the correct result of 12.8582 when I evaluate 49940.
    For the second one, I create constant array of the SAME values that were returned from the Polynomial Fit function (i typed them in).  However, I am getting an incorrect result of -120.7913 when I feed the constant array into the Poly Eval function when I evauate 49940.
    How can this happen when I am using the same array values?
    Attached is an image of what I am explaining.

    Hi Altran,
    are you sure about using the "same" coefficients?
    Did you compare them? Did you (atleast) set the display properties to 17 significant digits?

  • Same calculation producing two differing results

    Hi All
    I have some code in a user exit on save of a delivery (VL02N) that calculates the number of bags/pallets required to furnish that delivery.
    I am now adding the same code to a user exit on save a sales order (VA02) to calculate the number of bags/pallets again but when run it is producing differing results.
    the code is as follows:
    DATA: bag_weight(12) TYPE p DECIMALS 4.
    DATA: pallet_weight TYPE marm-umrez.
    DATA: bag_denominator TYPE i.
    bag_weight = pallet_weight / bag_denominator.
    Assuming pallet_weight = 1000 and bag_denominator = 40.
    On save of a delivery it is calculating bag_weight as 25.0000 (correct):
    On save of a sales order it is calculating bag_weight as 0.0025 (incoorect).
    All data declaration, code etc is the same. Does anybody have any clue as to why it would give two differing answers, I would not like to have to add a additional multiplication step to correct the result otherwise.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Whenever you are using the Packed numbers, you need to check or set the program attribute fixed point arithmetic only as only this ensure that the decimal point is calculated correctly.
    Have a look at the help.sap.com documentation link:

  • Same sql statement two different results?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knows why I am getting different
    results on the same query.
    Basically... when I run this query in "view" in sql server, I
    get the results I need, however when I run in Coldfusion, I am
    getting totally different results.... It is a totally different
    result...
    the query:
    SELECT DISTINCT
    tbl_employees.indexid, tbl_employees.[Employee ID] as
    employeeid, tbl_employees.[First Name] as firstname,
    tbl_employees.[Last Name] as lastname,
    tbl_employees.[Supervisor ID] as supervisorid,
    tbl_workaddress_userdata.firstname,
    tbl_workaddress_userdata.lastname,
    tbl_workaddress_userdata.supervisorid,

    tbl_workaddress_userdata.employeeid
    WHERE (tbl_employees.[Supervisor ID] = 7) AND

    I suspect you and your CF DSN are looking at two different

  • CR 4 Ent, Xcelsius and WebI - one query and two different results

    Dear Sirs,
    I'm using BO 4.0 platform and 3 tools: Crystal Reports for Enterprise, WebI and Dashboard Design (Xcelsius).
    I have one question, because in my opinion in this solution is one inconsistency.
    I have one table in SQL Server (like below):
    IDRec (autoinc)  | Col1 (varchar)   | Col2 (int)
    1      A    1
    2      A    1
    3      B    2
    4      B    2
    I have one universe with ONLY 3 dimensions (IDRec, Col1, Col2). I haven't any measures.
    And:
    1. Using CR 4 Ent and I create report using 3 dimensions (IDRec, Col1, Col2).
    I make sure, that I selected option: "Retrieve duplicate rows"
    If I have 3 columns in details I have 4 records (4 rows) in my report, when I have 2 columns (Col1 Col2) I have only 2 records (2 rows) in report (Page view).
    So universe (or something like this) use option DISTICT (I think).
    2. When I use WebI (14.0.2) I have the same situation.
    3. When I use Dashboard Desigm (Xcelsius 2011) I have 4 rows !!!  ALWAYS - it doesn't matter I selected "Retrieve duplicate rows" or not  !!!
    When I look to "View script" window, I not see DISTINCT clause.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    I can change the settings so as to be able to see duplicate records?
    It's very important for some calculation, especially in Crystal Reports (for Enterprise).

    Hi,
      Thanks for the response...But the result is deviating from the expected..
           expected is
         if we have first query returns              second query returns
                  1                                                     4
                  2                                                     5
                  3                                                     6
         these two queries result should be in one table , with first query result in first column and second query result in second column.
       The two queries fetching data from same table(category table as in my post) with different search criteria( in where clause).......Regards,
    Rakesh.

  • Two different results using one query

    Hi Friends
    Oracle version that I am using is : Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
    With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
    I have a scenario where one account can be related to two customers. Hence, in table have many rows for one account. Here’s the sample data:
    Account_ID | product_code | cust_id | relationship_code | entity_code
    1111 | ABC | 1234 | SOL | CUST
    1111 | ABC | 2222 | ZZZ | LINK

    3333 | JFK | 3254 | PRI | CUST
    3333 | JFK | 3299 | PRI | CUST

    5555 | DEF | 6667 | TST | CUST
    5555 | DEF | 9667 | TST | CUSTIn this scenario, I need two outputs differently:
    Output 1: When an account has relationship_code = ‘SOL’ then take the least cust_id
    1111 | ABC | 1234 | SOL | CUST
    2222 | ABC | 5678 | ZZZ | LINK
    4444 | JFK | 2535 | SOL | CUST Output 2: else take the highest cust_id
    3333 | JFK | 5878 | TST | CUST
    5555 | DEF | 9667 | TST | CUSTHow can I get this result using one query?

    Not sure what you mean. Works OK:

  • Two different results in grapher for a Bode plot -- one's right, one's wrong. Why?

    I'm simulating a simple RLC band pass filter and looking at the output in grapher.
    In the AC analysis setup screen, if I define the output as Vout/Vin and set up the vertical scale as decibel - the resulting graph is correct.
    On the other hand, if I define the output as dB(Vout) - dB(Vin), or dB(Vout/Vin), or dB(mag(Vin))- dB(mag(Vout) using the add expression command and set up the vertical scale as linear -- the output is inverted (instead of a band pass filter -- the output looks like a notch filter and the magnitudes are wrong).
    The second technique "used to" work - but truthfully I can't remember if this was in Multisim or in PSpice.
    So, what am I doing wrong? 

    Hello,
    When you set the vertical scale to linear in the AC Analysis window, only the magnitude of the output variable is evaluated to be drawn on the top graph whilewhether it is positive or negative is evaluated in the bottom graph, the phase graph (-1 = 180 phase shift).
    When you choose a logarithmic scale, the 20*log of this magnitude is evaluated and it can be positive or negative according to whether this magnitude is greater or less than 1. By setting the vertical scale to linear and your output to an expression your basically drawing the magnitude of your expression (any of the three you mentioned below) on your top graph which will always be a poisitve value.
    Also, in your graph when you enter any of these expressions notice that the phase information has been ommitted (bottom graph) and has been replaced by a constant 180 which represents the negative sign of the magnitude.
    Hope this explains the results you were getting.

  • Filter expression producing different results after upgrade to 11.1.1.7

    Hello,
    We recently did an upgrade and noticed that on a number of reports where we're using the FILTER expression that the numbers are very inflated. Where we are not using the FILTER expression the numbers are as expected. In the example below we ran the 'Bookings' report in 10g and came up with one number and ran the same report in 11g (11.1.1.7.0) after the upgrade and got two different results. The data source is the same database for each envrionment. Also, in running the physical SQL generated by the 10g and 11g version of the report we get different the inflated numbers from the 11g SQL. Any ideas on what might be happening or causing the issue?
    10g report: 2016-Q3......Bookings..........72,017
    11g report: 2016-Q3......Bookings..........239,659
    This is the simple FILTER expression that is being used in the column formula on the report itself for this particular scenario which produces different results in 10g and 11g.

    Thank you for the info. They are definitely different values since ones on the header and the other is on the lines. As the "Won Opportunity" logical column is mapped to multiple LTS it appears the OBI 11 uses a different alogorthim to determine the most efficient table to use in the query generation vs 10g. I'll need to spend some time researching the impact to adding a 'sort' to the LTS. I'm hoping that there's a way to get OBI to use similar logic relative to 10g in how it generated the table priority.
    Thx again,
    Mike

  • RH_STRUC_GET get different result

    All experts,
        As i use this FM to get OM structure,  the evalation path it 'MSSDIREC'.  it can ge resutl,  but , i use two logon ID to check this, it gets different result,  how to do this?

    My parameters is like this:
    CALL FUNCTION 'RH_STRUC_GET'
                EXPORTING
                    ACT_OTYPE  = 'O'
                    ACT_OBJID  = it_org-sobid               "50006642
                    ACT_WEGID  = 'MSSDIREC'              "evalation path
                    ACT_PLVAR  = '01'
                    ACT_BEGDA  = lv_date1 "wa_begda  M1        "21.10.2009
                    ACT_ENDDA  = lv_date1 "wa_endda              "21.10.2009
                TABLES
                    RESULT_TAB  =  lt_d_result_tab
                EXCEPTIONS
                    NO_PLVAR_FOUND  =  1
                    NO_ENTRY_FOUND  =  2.
    I use two Logon ID to test this FM, but it get two different result.
    i want to know why there is different result in different ID,

  • Same circuit twice with different results

    I've been having some trouble having Multisim match a circuit I have modeled in MATLAB. During the troubleshooting process I put voltage probes on each wire used. The circuit portion in question involves an AC Voltage source connected to a resistor which is then connected to an inductor. I made a copy of the circuit and started from scratch. One of the circuits gives a voltage drop across the resistor, while the other one doesn't drop any voltage at all. I've checked all of the connections and they are all good. The only difference I can see is that one has the pins labeled 1 - 2 while the other is 2 - 1. Does anyone know what the problem is here? I shouldn't not be getting two different results for the same circuit.

    Hi Jmerc,
    Maybe you can post the circuits so that we can compare.

  • HT4207 Archiving gmail e-mails on MacBook Pro vs iPhone: Same action, different results

    The core issue:
    The same action yields different results.
    The details:
    First, I'm on my laptop looking at an e-mail sent to my gmail account and want to archive it so I hit archive and it goes to the archive folder; Second, I'm on my iPhone looking at an e-mail sent to my gmail account and want to archive it so I hit archive and it goes to the "All Mail" folder in my gmail account. The second part doesn't make me happy because it doesn't make any sense. In other words the same action results in two different results.
    Ideal solution:
    Please tell me how to make the archive icon on my iPhone act like its righteous twin does on my MacBook Pro.
    Thanks!

    Same question, but the reverse. I want Apple Mail on Mountain Lion to work like iOS with regard to archiving Gmail messages.

  •  Ps installation on two different boot volumes of same machine?   Ps 11.0.2 Mac PPC  and then...

    Hello, I'm new to this forum.
    My goal here is to have two different Photoshop 11.0.2 installations on two different boot volumes of one and the same Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad, one being a Tiger 10.4.11 system and the other one a Leopard 10.5.8 system, for the purpose of installing two different modalities of the same Epson Photo Stylus 2200 printer, one with the printer set to use the photo black ink cartridge for luster and glossy papers, and the other one using the matte blank ink.
    This is because I prefer to simply change the startup disk when switching inks rather than having to delete and re-add the necessary printers.  (This particular printer does not support ink cartridge switching under any version of Mac OS X.)
    Photoshop is currently only used on this one machine.  Obviously this intended scheme fits well within the EULA conditions.
    My three questions are:
    (a) whether there is any technical issue I have failed to consider,
    (b) whether each copy of Photoshop on the same machine will have to be activated separately (in other words, is the activation tied to the CPU or to the boot volume drive?), and
    (c) if the answer to the latter question is yes, whether this will count as one or two activations for purposes of later installing a single instance of the Photoshop 13.x ("CS6") upgrade on an Intel- MacBook, since obviously C6 will not run on my PPC Mac.  Again in sum, will I be able to continue to run Photoshop 11.0.2 on two different volumes of the same PPC machine and the Photoshop 13.x upgrade on the laptop?
    As further explanation, I would use Photoshop 13.x on the Mac-Intel laptop only in order to run ACR 7.x, but would keep my PPC G5 Quad as my photo editing and printing machine running Photoshop 11.0.2, since an upgrade of my desktop machine to a comparably powerful Mac Pro is simply not an option for both financial and technical reasons (the Classic environment is essential).
    Any and all input and guidance will be appreciated.
