US iBook and UK Keyboard help needed..

Hey there.
Some time ago my girlfriend bought an iBook G4 from eBay. We both use the iBook and use a UK Mac keyboard with it, the only problem is is that the pound sign, when used comes out as the $ sign on the iBook and # when using the UK keyboard. Number 3 is supposed to be the pound sign when shift and 3 are pressed, how do assign the key to show the pound sign? It's annoying cause' everytime we need to use the sign we have to resort to using the 'special characters' option. I hope someone can help, thanks!

Hi Tymon,
You will need to set your keyboard input menu to UK. Do the following:
1. Fire up System Preferences
2. Select the International icon
3. Within the International preferences window select the Input Menu tab
4. Ensure Keyboard Viewer is ticked (not needed here but very useful to have available)
5. Scroll down and tick on the British Keyboard box
6. If it's not already ticked, select the "Show input menu in menu bar" box (bottom left of the window).
That's it. You will now notice a flag in the top right of the menubar. It should be the British flag. If not, simply click on the flag and select British. Your keyboard input layout should now be in the familiar British flavour.

Demoting a DC and Group policy, help needed.

Hi all,
so we have 3 domain controllers, lets say dc1,dc2 and dc3. We have the 3rd line assistance from another company, they have advised the following....
SO the stages will be
1) Can you please go through all the GPO's in DC3 and consolidate what you need and what you do not need, you need to extensively cross reference this with DC1 and DC2, this is something you have to do. As I will not know what you need and what you do
not. You can do this by logging into each domain controller and opening up the settings of each GPO and cross referencing.
2) Once the above is done, we will consolidate the GPO's to a central repository in your domain
3) Backup Sysvol directory and Netlogon folder in DC3
3) Proceed to dcpromo DC3 out of the domain
4) Test connectivity if clients to the AD
5) Add the additional Server options
6) All of the above can be done during office hours.
it was my understanding (perhaps wrongly) that the group policies were not on the individual Domain Controllers but in Sysvol and as such replicated anyway?
any advice would be very much appreciated.

Ok, that's a common problem. Fix it and you will be fine:

I agree. Talking of a "central repository" fro group policy doesn't make
sense, because group policy from the very beginning lives in AD and
sysvol, which both are kind of "central repository". Seems they don't
really know what they're talking about :)

IBook and external HDD - Advice needed

Hi all,
I am using an old G3 white dual USB iBook with OS X 10.2.8. The backlight cable broke a year ago, and I finally worked up the nerve to replace it myself...and while I'm in there, I'd like to drop in a new 120GB Seagate hard drive to replace the practically full 30GB in there now. Now before I do all this, I really want to back everything up to an external hard disk.
I have an old Western Digital Caviar 60GB disk that I put into an external enclosure (an AcomData 509), but so far I've had no luck getting Disk Utility to reformat it. Disk Utility sees the hardware and reports it as "0,00 Bytes DMI" and gives the correct model number for the disk, however DU simply won't reformat.
When I tried to put an Apple Extended partition on there, it popped up a progress window saying "Setting up partition map" with a blue candy cane progress bar and then just sits there doing nothing. CPU usage doesn't go up, the drive light never flickers, and right clicking DU in the Dock never reports that the app isn't responding. If I try to quit, it just beeps and won't quit. The console has the following lines:
May 19 13:00:18 c<edited IP address out> kextd[507]: a link/load error occured for kernel extension (null)
/System/Library/Filesystems/msdos.fs/msdos.util: device safe_read error @ 0, Device not configured
The same thing happens even if the option to zero the disk is selected. In either case, DU must be force quit.
So, with no success there, I decided to try to format it as an MS-DOS File System. Clicking Erase makes a progress window with the candy cane bar very quickly pop up and then disappear with no indication that anything happened at all. The console had the following lines after that:
/System/Library/Filesystems/msdos.fs/msdos.util: device safe_read error @ 0, Device not configured
/sbin/newfs_msdos: warning: /dev/disk2 is not a character device
/sbin/newfs_msdos: meta data exceeds file system size
If I select the zero disk option, the progress window pops up flashing "Remounting Volume" then "Writing zeros" and then DU abruptly crashes. If anyone needs the crashdump log, I'll be happy to post it, but it is very long.
Typing "diskutil list" in the terminal shows:
/dev/disk2
#: type name size identifier
0: *0.0 B disk2
1: 0.0 B disk2
Typing "diskutil info /dev/disk2" reports
Device Node: /dev/disk2
Device Identifier: disk2
Mount Point:
Volume Name:
can't open: /dev/disk2 (Permission denied)
File System:
Partition Type:
Media Type: Generic
Protocol: USB
Total Size: 0.0 B
Free Space: 0.0 B
Read Only: No
Ejectable: No
I thought it might be interesting to try the eraseDisk for diskutil, but here's what happened:
sudo diskutil eraseDisk HFS+ BackupDisk /dev/disk2
Password:
error -5344 making new partition
Unmount old disk
Erasing disk2
/sbin/newfs_hfs: write (sector 0, 45568 bytes): Device not configured
Remounting volume
Could not mount disk
I'm not very familiar with using fdisk, but when I tried to run it with "sudo fdisk" it told me it must be run as root...ok?
This drive originally had Redhat Linux 7 with one large ext2 partition if I remember right. Clearly something happened to it, but I don't know what.
Since I really need this data backed up, I tried using my 3rd gen 20GB iPod, but unfortunately, when I try to copy over my home directory I routinely get an error -50. This happens on specific files, but even when I try to copy one at a time, I still get a message that certain files or folders couldn't be copied. The iPod is formatted FAT32, if that makes any difference.
So, I need some advice. Should I go buy a new had drive to put in the enclosure and hope this one works? Would it be better to find a NAS, and if so, what's a good model? Should I get a 2.5" external enclosure and put the old iBook hard drive in there and try to mount that once I've installed Tiger on the new Seagate? (I know there are bound to be permission issues with getting into my home directory like that...)
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
iBook dual USB, 600MHz G3, 30GB HD Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Thank you for the suggestions.
I tried the repartitioning, but DU stalled out with the message "Preparing drives ... unmounting old volumes." It still didn't report any higher cpu usage, the drive light never flashed, and DU wouldn't quit normally. I tried using diskutil partitionDisk at the command line, and that returned an "error -5344 making new partition" and "You have specified partition sizes which will not fit on the device." I tried 60G as the size, and when that didn't work, I tried all the way down to 30G, still with the same result. (Interestingly, DU no longer says the disk is a WD600 as before - it just says "DMI" under the description.) What could I be doing wrong?
Oh, with the iPod I was trying to copy only a few folders, like a "School" folder, from my home directory, not the whole thing at once. It copied fine for a while, then it returned the error -50 and stopped. The message dialog with the error -50 stayed up there and would never go away, and if I tried to log out or restart, I'd be told the Finder couldn't quit because some operation was still in progress.
If I tried to copy a different folder, or copy smaller batches of files, I'd either still get that error, or the Finder would say that it couldn't copy a file, and ask if I wanted to stop or continue. Whichever choice I made, the message dialog wouldn't go away, even if the rest of the copy completed successfully. Trying to log out or restart would again tell me the Finder couldn't quit as before.
I should mention that the exact same thing happens when I try to copy some things out to my USB drive (a SanDisk Cruzer Micro). A few years ago, when I tried to copy some school files from the iBook onto a Windows 2000 (NTFS) machine over a network, I had a similar problem with the error -50. I got around that by going to the Win machine and using it to do the copy. Copying onto the iBook from either machine worked just fine, though.
Anywho, those other drive enclosures are very nice, but they're so expensive, and if I had to get a new drive, too, I might have to not eat for the rest of the month, lol. And I doubt I could get one shipped and get this little machine all fixed up before school starts next week (and I'll definitely be needing it for school, unfortunately).
So barring a good enclosure, do you think I'd have better luck with a MyBook external or something similar? Or a NAS? What worries me is that if I'm already having trouble copying onto the iPod and the USB drive, what are the chances it'll be any better with one of those? Could it just be some issue with FAT32?
Would it be possible for me to get a 2.5" enclosure and put the iBook's current disk in there, do my repairs, install Tiger on the new Seagate, and then mount the old disk over Firewire and move my files to the new disk that way? How would I make my files public so the new install will let me read them? In Windows, making the folder shared was enough...any suggestions for something equivalent in OS X (Jaguar)?
Again, thanks for your help, very much appreciated. ~:o)

Keyboard help needed for spreadsheet / excel files!

When editing a spreadsheet / excel file, how do I keep the keyboard from switching back to numerical mode every time I press the space bar? When entering text into a cell, I need the keyboard to stay locked in alpha mode. I've tried both office hd and quick office, and in each one, every time I write a word and then press the space bar, it automatically goes back into the numerical keyboard mode.

Posting a Question and iPod mini help needed

It's so frustrating to use this support site. I can't seem to find the right information.
I need help. My iPod mini just suddenly conked out on me. Now it flashes the apple then an icon with a battery and an exclamation point inside a triangle. I tried to search for an answer in this site but all I got was a suggestion to reset it. I tried re-setting it and IT DIDN'T WORK!
What do I do now? I really want to get this fixed as soon as possible. I happen to love my iPod. Please, please, someone help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, serangel.
Here is the support site for using iPod mini.
There are plenty of users there who will be happy to help.

GROUP BY and ORDER BY help needed

I have got an sql query where I have the need to pull out the latest copy of duplicate info, but what is happening is that the first instance is being displayed. The query I have is this:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_maincontenttext
WHERE fld_menusection = 3
GROUP BY fld_webpage
ORDER BY fld_timedate DESC
Basically, I have content that is listed under menu section 3, but within that I will have several copies of content that will relate to a specific webpage (eg: about us). What is currently happening is that GROUP BY is obviously grouping the similarly named 'about us', but it is pulling the first record it comes across out of the database rather than the latest updated record.
As you can see, I am trying to get the query to order by fld_timedate which is a CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, but it's not working!
I'm hoping that there is some sort of SQL that I am unaware of that will help me group by and display the latest update/content.
Thanks.
Mat

It would help if you could show us the table definition. Your SQL statement is ambigous because you are selecting all table columns, yet only including one column in the group by clause. A SQL statement must contain all selected columns that are not aggregates. Most DBMS will return an error for this statement. Others that don't return an error will return unexpected results.

Validation and Substitutions - Urgent Help needed

Hello everyone,
I need your help about this. This is the first time i am going to create a validation for document no. line items.
The scenario is this:
1. I need to check if the FI document that is to be posted contains line items where BSEG-LOKKT falls within the range of 0099990000-0099999999. For each matching line item, I need to check if the credit line items balances with the debit line items. If TRUE then the validation will EXIT succesfully.
2. If an FI document contains line items where BSEG-LOKKT falls within the range of 0099990000-0099999999, but the sum of the debit line items and the credit line items is not equal to zero, validation will prevent thre user from posting the document. Error message will be raised.
3. If FI document document does not contain line items with BSEG-LOKKT ranging from 0099990000-0099999999, validation will exit successfully because there are no appropriate alternative accts to be verified.
This validation will only apply to one company code.
Please provide me with the step-by-step creation of the validation.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks in advance.

Middleware and Adapter Object help needed

Hi all,
We are trying to replicate business agreements from CRM to contract accounts in our R/3 IS-U system. We've followed the various cookbooks and guidelines but have so far been unsuccessful. For object BUAG_MAIN, is an adapter object needed? If so, we are unable to find one in R3AC1.
If we check the BDoc message, we are getting two Technical errors after creating the business agreement:
1. "Outbound call for BDoc type BUAG_MAIN to adapter module CRM_UPLOAD_TO_OLTP failed."
2. "Service that caused the error: SMW3_OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS"
Any ideas? Points will be awarded for helpful responses. Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by:
John S

So in R3AC1 there is a button to show inactive adapter objects. Hitting this showed BUAG_MAIN. After that, we opened BUAG_MAIN and activated the object. This resulted in a couple of changes that we clicked through. We then were able to do an initial load of the business agreements and replications of newly created ones happened thereafter.

Find and Replace text and change font help needed.

I am completely new to Scripting and I'm sure this is quite simple but I do not know where to start.
I have a FM template that is populated with "raw" text from a database.
Within the text are several characters (+, @, *, $, # and %).
I need to replace these characters with symbols from a different font e.g.:
Each instance of:
"+" to be replaced with Wingdings 2 font - Lowercase t
"@" to be replaced with Wingdings 2 font - Lowercase u
"*" to be replaced with Wingdings font - Uppercase E etc.
I would like to automate the process and believe a script would enable me to do this.
I have tried looking on the forum, but can not find anything suitable to help me (or I'm looking in the wrong place).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Kev

not really
important is the Illustrator Text Object-model, which is not very easy to understand.
And the Core JS String and regExp Objekts.
Have a look at this:
http://www.ogebab.de/home/skripte/text/replace
The dialog is poor (because of compatibility) and it works simply on TextFrames.contents, i don't know if this is good i all cases.
But i use it not very often so i don't want to rewrite it.
Maybe it is a starting-point for you.
But maybe it is more then you need.
try this:
//select a text
var text = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
var string = text.contents;
string = string.replace(/ /g," ");
text.contents= string;
/ /g is a regular expression
.replace() is a method of the String Object

Dynamic link and workflow optimization help needed

As a vlogger I just tried out a brandnew method to save time and renders. Instead of editing every clip separately in After Effects and then rendering it and then do the final edit in Premiere, I just edit immediately in Premiere, then when it's finished editing I do a global color correction in AE via Dynamic link. I'm just kinda worried the results are bad. Do you think it sucks? Do you like it? Would you subscribe? Do you wanna see other vlogs?
your opinion helps me more then you think.
your good friend,
ck

Edit in Premier then dynamic link to AE is the usual workflow. I've been doing a bit of color grading lately but I'm still not on par with the terms a colorist would use but I think the vid has a dreary look to it. Dark, not much contrast, needs more tone? Also advice on vlogging sounds like a post for the video lounge.

A little assistance and some big help needed

I seem to be running into a problem migrating an MSAccess 2000 database to XE.
I open the omwb2000.mde, select the database and define the location for the schema and data export.
The DAO msi opens and I get error 1706. No Valid Source could be found for product DAO. the windows installer cannot continue.
If I cancel the DAO and if I add forms and reports from the .mde I get error #5 - XML Exporter. Invalid procedure or call argument (the database location) Database Schema Export did not complete successfully.
Any help is very appreciated.
My local environment is:
Win XP SP2
Office 03 SP2
Oracle XE
OMWB 10.1.0.4.0

Hi,
Have you tried re-registering the DAO dao360.dll? If, for some reason, your MDAC install has gotten corrupt, you'll need to re-register. Try executing the following from the Start | Run command:
regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao\dao360.dll"
I would also recommend using the omwb2003.mde, and converting your MS Access 2000 database to 2003, seeing as you have MS Access 2003 installed on your machine. We recommend using the version of the Exporter Tool that corresponds with the version of MS Access installed on your machine.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

MAC OS-X Lion and Error 51 - Help Needed ASAP Please

Greetings,
I have been using the Cisco VPN Client (4.9.01) for Mac under Snow Leopard (10.6.x) without any issues.
Since upgrading to Lion earlier today I am now receiving an Error 51 - unable to communicate with the subsystem.
I found a thread that suggested restarting the system while holding down Opt/3/2 keys to force a 32-Bit restart and the Client will indeed run. However, this is a bandaid patch.
Has Cisco addressed this issue? Is there a better workaround at this time?
Thank you,
Lyman

Hello Robert,
In Windows 7 you would need to use the Cisco IPsec client which operates the same way as it does in XP with regards to the pcf. So I am not sure why you are having trouble with Win7, if you are still having trouble with Win7 using the Cisco IPsec client please start a new thread for that specific issue as it is separate and distinct from Mac OS X and using the Mac OS X built in client.
Did you follow this guide:
http://anders.com/guides/native-cisco-vpn-on-mac-os-x/
Thanks tomas.truchly.
I have not heard of an issue with the Mac OS X Built-in client when properly configured and when the head-end has the security levels necessary.
Also, since this thread has been Answered, to help ensure you get the help you need it might be best to open a new thread.

Apple Wireless Keyboard help needed

My wife's computer is a 24" 2.33ghz Intel Core 2 duo iMac, 2gb ram, OS 10.4.9
2 days ago her Apple Wireless keyboard stopped being recognized by the computer. When I turn it on the light blinks, but the computer never recognizes it. When I go to the bluetooth setup assistant and try to manually setup a "keyboard", it never recognizes it.
However, if I try to setup "any device", the keyboard shows up in the list, but still cannot be paired with. I am using the wireless mighty mouse, it still works perfectly fine.
I have not done any updates on this system in weeks, 10.4.9 was updated on March 17th, the keyboard did not go down until 48 hours ago. (I know, it could still be a software conflict/issue, but each day after a change it usually becomes less likely)
No other software has been added to the computer since the updates in mid-March, and as I said the keyboard is recognized if I set up any device, but not cannot be paired with. Nothing was moved, installed (hardware or software) or dropped, so I am stumped.
Have reset the PRAM, SMC, turned bluetooth off and on, changed keyboard batteries, deleted the bluetooth prefs (as per macfixit article) all to no avail.
Any ideas before bringing in for service would be welcome.

Me too, the exact same symptoms. It may help troubleshooting to know the following:
- The same occurred with a PPC G4 Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.4.8 (could even have been 10.4.7, can't remember). Problem persists after updating to 10.4.9.
- The behaviour is exactly the same on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook 2.0 GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.9.
- The problem started after the batteries went completely flat.
I've checked with the Bluetooth utility from Developer Tools; the keyboard is alive but reports itself as "Unknown".
I wanted to try updating the keyboard firmware using the Apple Wireless Keyboard Updater 1.1 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/wirelesskeyboardmousefirmwareupdate.html) in the hope that it would make the keyboard report itself correctly again. But the updater just crashes in 10.4.9 (or Tiger in general), because it uses a private framework that has apparently been removed.
I borrowed Panther installation disks from a friend to run the updater, but I can't boot even my mini with them because it shipped with Tiger.
