Using external HD from a WinXP system with MBP - can't reformat external HD

Hi,
I have an external hard drive that I've been using with my Windows XP desktop computer. Before I got my MBP a month ago, I stored my iTunes library and all my digital photos on the external HD. I'd like to use the same HD for my MBP, but I can't reformat the HD when I connect it for the first time, as all of my music and photos are on it.
Will this be a problem? If so, what, if anything, can be done to ensure that I can use the HD with my MBP while maintaining the integrity of the existing content?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

If you have enough space on your MBP, of course, you can simply copy the stuff on to it from the external, then reformat.
Your MBP should be able to read the drive without it needing reformatting regardless. If the drive is formatted as Fat32, then Leopard should be able to both read and write to it. If it is formatted as NTFS gthen it will be able to read, but not write.
One thing to be aware of, though, is that USB 2 drives are much slower than Firewire ones on Macs (and also a little slower than when connected to USB on most PC's) . If this is a USB drive you might want to think about getting yourself a good FW drive instead for use on the new computer.

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with custome

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with "customer reserve" language (Z1).
We have positive experience on one system for certain business partner in Macedonia (there is no Macedonian language to install as SAP standard) by using "customer reserve" language (Z1).
Now we are about to introduce other system with same approach. The trouble is that after entering Macedonian language on an cost center with language Z1 on first language and transfering it via idoc we get hashes("#") instead of characters on second language
What could be the reason? I suplemented with english (as on the first system where everything is ok) the "Customer reserve"(Z1) language normaly(with default settings).
On first system this was not done by me.
Should supplementation be done specificly?.(how to find settings for supplemention on first system?)
Please give me a hint

Hi,
To check supplement language go to T-code, SMLT ->Language ->Special actions->Supplementaion
you can get more information from below SDN thread.

HT1451 how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music. Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist. Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music. Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist. Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

However, my troubleshooting issue is that I also want the songs in my concert playlists to go in order of how they were performed at the concerts.
Give them a track number.
Each time I number them within the playlists the song's number also changes within the Library Music list.
And? I'm not seeing the problem.
However, I can not figure out how to make true copy. I've already tried dragging the song to my desktop, then dragging the new copy back into iTunes. I've even tried renaming the duplicate copy and dragging it into iTunes. Why won't my iTunes make an individual duplicate copy of a song?
How do you have iTunes manage your music? If you drag a song to the desktop it may just be moving the file to the desktop.
Command+R to reveal the file in Finder. Command+D to duplicate the file in Finder. Drag the duplicate to iTunes to add the second copy. Not that I totally understand where the issues lie and feel this is likely not the best remedy...

Can I delete an icloud account from apple's system with out password

My mom is 88.. Apple help desk got her set up for an icould account she did not need becuse they misunderstood the nature of help she needed. It is a second uncessary account and is wreaking havoc with her iPad. My mom can not remember her password. How can I permanantely remove the account from Apple's system.

Apple IDs (which are used to establish various types of accounts like icloud and itunes store) cannot be permanently deleted, nor can the accounts. Just don't use the account in question if you don't want it.
If this is about icloud, then on her ipad, Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. In the future she can always log back in. If she needs to do this, then to deal with a forgotten password...

What ATP category to use when loading from non SAP system

Hi Experts,
We are sourcing transactional data from SAP R/3 and using CIF to transfer these data to APO.
Now we have new sets of material locations where we are going to source transcational data from non-SAP system. We are going to extract file from non-SAP system and load it to APO. My question is, do I need to create new categories (non SAP categories) for all these transactional data (sales order, production order, purchase order, etc...) Or can I just use existing SAP categories that are getting populated when data are coming from R/3 through CIF.
If its possible, can I use RLCDELETE to delete previously posted transactional data? because we are planning to do full refresh and reload everyday.
Appreciate your help. Thanks
Regards,
Mylene

Hi My lene,
If i undersood your question correctly, you are trying to upload transaction data into APO system using file interface.
You can use custom or standard ATP categories to upload any type of transaction data and deletion of those orders also possible for both the ATP categories using RLCDLETE report (except salesorder and fixed planned orders, they can be deleted by SDORDER_DEL & DELETE_PP_OREDER reports respectively).
Custome categoires will be used in case additional data needs to get stored in APO system along with the standard transaction data coming from ECC system . For example, salesorders coming from ECC and uploaded from file.
If the transaction data coming from only one source system then it is better to use standard categories.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks & Regards,

Can I use the sub from my Gigaworks 700s with a receiver?

The Sub from this speaker setup with this receiver. Someone said I could purchase a 3.5mm to RCA adapter like this and it MIGHT be possible to connect the 3.5mm to the Subwoofer/Center input on the back of the subwoofer and then try both of the RCA's on the subwoofer output on the back of the receiver. One of the RCA's would be for that center speaker that I will now be hooking up via speaker wire and won't need it via 3.5mm/RCA, and the other RCA plug would be for the speaker, which would hopefully successfully output it from the receiver to the sub. Does anyone know if this could work?

I have the exact same charger, and have been using it without a problem with my new iPhone 4S this week. The wall charger from my Original iPhone 2G also charges it.

Problem in Fetching data using RFC FM from NON SAP system

Hi All,
Need help from experts on data transfer using RFC from a non SAP system/database. I have creasted the destination in sm59.
I have created a function module too which has an import parameter as a query and export parameter as an internal table.
No when i test run this function module it returns some entries. But when I call this FM in a program it throws a dump 'rfc_external_abort' . Here is what the call to FM looks like in my program. Please guide me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Saket.
DATA : lv_query TYPE string,
       it_gddbdata TYPE ZC9_TAB_SOLMAN_XI_RFC.
lv_query = 'SELECT * FROM GDDB.VW_GDDB_PERSONS WHERE LASTNAME = ''''A'''''.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_C9_SOLMAN_XI_GDDBCON'
DESTINATION 'D39'
EXPORTING
    in_sql_query       = lv_query
IMPORTING
   ET_GDDB_DATA       = it_gddbdata

Hi,
your question..
DATA : lv_query TYPE string,
it_gddbdata TYPE ZC9_TAB_SOLMAN_XI_RFC.
lv_query = 'SELECT * FROM GDDB.VW_GDDB_PERSONS WHERE LASTNAME = ''''A'''''.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_C9_SOLMAN_XI_GDDBCON'
DESTINATION 'D39'
EXPORTING
in_sql_query = lv_query
IMPORTING
ET_GDDB_DATA = it_gddbdata
you are telling that you are fetching the data from non sap system using RFC function module.. how it is possible..you canot fetch the data from non SAP system using RFC FM alone.. you have to use the concept BAPI.. it will work..
I hope this will help you..

Can you use surround sound 5.1home theatre systems with iMac 27"?

Can you use surround sound 5.1 home theatre systems with iMac 27"? I was thinking of using my iMac as an internet television as well as home pc. thanks

NZane-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
The Mac puts out encoded 5.1. It is the function of the amplifier, receiver or decoder to take that signal and turn it into something useful. At minimum you will need a device that can accept that output and turn it into something useful.
Most studios that I am familiar with want to be able to use their own 5.1 decoder, amp and speakers. Juicier sound!

Using High-end Windows 8.1 system with Quadro Card and CC2014 fails on many levels. Help!!

I produce TV spots daily and and I can not afford so many failures. CC2014 is the worst experience for us and we have several systems that prove it's not our hardware.
-Crashes repeatedly (and most times can not be replicated)
-Freezes when queuing to media encoder
-Rendered media has variable results and sometimes has no audio (or the audio is partially there). Have to reboot to correct.
-Sporadic timeline behavior with audio playback being intermittent
-Useless clip syncing function using audio tracks
-Clip movement is frozen and cannot be moved until it's de-selected or the system has to be restarted
-Project bin behavior sends clips and text to the wrong folder.
-All the above happens when Cuda card is turn on or off.
-Some operations can not returned to normal unless we cold boot
-Just found out that the audio filter DeNoiser does not render out entirely, you can hear mid way the clip when it kicks in
I originally paid for my monthly subscription because CC first came out as an improvement to earlier version, and was very stable. Now I'm wonder why I'm wasting my money. Don't get me wrong, I like where adobe is heading but they need to address the problem or offer a discount. I'd rather they fix EVERYTHING!

How to use generated code from "Import Web Services" with Cairngorm Framework

I recently downloaded Flex Builder 3 beta 2 and tried out the
wizard that lets you import web services. The code that is
auto-generated makes if fairly straight forward to consume web
services using the object types defined in the WSDL. No longer does
the developer need to decode the XML payload! The only problem I am
having is how does you integrate the auto- generated code with the
Cairngorm framework? This seems like a huge question for anyone who
might want to leverage Cairngorm and the auto-generated proxy code
in the same project (like me).
Here are the problems that I see so far.
1) How do you configure the generated service class to work
with the Cairngorm service locator? The service constructor only
accepts a “LCDS destination string” which implies that
you must use Lifecycle data services. Unfortunately, the project I
am trying to retrofit currently uses a WebService and does not use
data services. All I really need to do is change the endpoint URL
(ie from local to a development server). This issue is noted in the
bug https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-8456. What I think is
needed is a way to set the endpointURI in the Services.mxml file.
2) Even if I come up with a hack around #1, I do not receive
a callback to my IResponder even though I register it immediately
after the method call. I can register and listener function within
my business delegate and receive the callback, but my Command
object, which implements IResponder, does not receive the call back
even though it is registered. From what I read in the ASDocs it
should but it doesn’t for me!
These are the issues I have observed in 3 hours of messing
with this. I hope this makes sense. I would love to integrate
auto-generated web service proxies into Cairngorm but I don’t
see a straight forward way without re-architecting Cairngorm. Has
any one else run across this issue? If so, do you have any insights
on how to proceed? Any help is appreciated.

Since I posted this question, I have abandoned the notion of
auto-generated web services and embraced the good old FDS concept
where the RemoteObject meta-tag does all the conversion work for
me. We are now using the Granite DS package and it is working well
for us. I would love to consume web services, but it just isn't
worth the hassle when all you have to do with Granite (and FDS) is
cast your return objects to the proper object type.
BTW, since this posting, I have investigated competing Flex
app frameworks. After my research, I checked out the PureMVC
framework. Wow!! Cairngorm always left me with an uneasy feeling
and I guess I am not alone. Apparently, Cliff Hall felt the same
way. That is why he started the project. I like his approach alot
more than Cairngorm especially since it includes notifications
which allow me to broadcast my own app level events independent
from the AS Event framework. Check out PureMVC. For what it is
worth, it has my humble endorsement. Cliff was even gracious enough
to acknowledge the other Adobe Consulting guys for their work. Good
for you Cliff, I respect that. Check out a better way at

Using stored parameter from data control class with stacked bar-graph

Hi folks,
I'm relatively new to ADF & EJB so I want to apologise in advance if this question seems rudimentary to many of you.
Edit: I should have mentioned that I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5
I'm having a hard time determining how to retrieve the value from a variable to be assigned to a property of the bar graph I'm trying to display on my JSF page.
I have tried to briefly summarise the logic below for reference.
I have a data control class (ActivityChart) that includes a method "getActivityDetail" returns a List of custom Objects (ActivityDTO) that are the underlying data for my bar graph.
public class ActivityChart {
    private Double axisScale;
    public ActivityChart() {
        super();
        axisScale = 0.0;
    public List<ActivityDTO> getActivityDetail(List<String> businessUnits) {
        List<ActivityDTO> returnNewList = new ArrayList<ActivityDTO>();
        List<TransactionDTO> dataList = new ArrayList<TransactionDTO>();
        TransactionSessionBean transBean = lookupTransactionSessionBean();
        if (businessUnits != null && !businessUnits.isEmpty()){
            dataList = transBean.getActivityData(SystemUtil.getCurrentUser(), businessUnits);
            returnNewList = processTransactions(dataList);
            axisScale = calcAxisScale(returnNewList);
        return returnNewList;
...The TransactionDTO object is basically a mirror of the entity object to store the fields from the queried db transactions.
The ActivityDTO object contains a String value (x-axis label) and 3 Double values for the values required for the bar graph.
What I'm trying to do is dynamically set the scale for the 2 y-axes (I'm using a dual-axis stacked bar graph) because the auto calculated values are not aligned.
Right now I've got the two relevant elements of the bar graph hard-coded with a specific axis value:
<dvt:y1Axis axisMaxAutoScaled="false" axisMaxValue="100.0"/>
<dvt:y2Axis axisMaxAutoScaled="false" axisMaxValue="100.0"/>.
The value I want to use for the Y-axis is calculated and stored in the "axisScale" variable in the above class.
Really at a loss of how to move forward from here.
Would very much appreciate any guidance/direction offered.
Thanks,
Karim
Edited by: 973742 on Nov 28, 2012 8:12 AM

Looks like I may have found the answer!
I had to set up the variable in the bindings for the page and then reference the variable from the binding and add the property inputValue.
ie. value="#{bindings.axisScale.inputValue}"

How can I use the speakers from my old iMac (with miniRCA? plug) on a new iMac

How can I use the speakers (M-Audio) from my old 24" iMac on a new 27" iMac? There is no jack on the new iMac - is there an adapter that will use the mini-RCA (?) plug from my old speakers to connect them to a new iMac? Thanks ...

Thanks again!
Hmmm ... I wonder. The input jack for external speakers quit working on my old iMac (it made lotsa static noise for a while when I moved the plug or computer, then quit working completely; I figure something inside the computer got loose or crapped out - and I'm too cheap/lazy to take it the 20 miles to the nearest shop that might fix it). When I plug the speakers into the headphone jack on the old iMac, I get very low volume or just one channel.
I don't have the new iMac yet, but I was hoping to use these old speakers instead of buying new ones. I will certainly try your solution - what do I have to lose? If they don't work, then I get new ones - or try something else.
Many thanks for your time!

Using iMac as external display with MBP, can this be done?

I know...
This has been posted before, but I have as of yet not found a straight answer. Mostly peoples recommendation is: "Buy a display".
However, I have an older iMac, 20" and I have a newer MBP 15". The MBP has a faster graphics card, better processor and more RAM. But I still like sitting at the table using my iMac, because the comfort of working is better this way.
Now seeing that I have both, is it possible to connect the two, and use the iMac for a display? Preferably without having to buy a whole lot of expensive cables, applications or do strange hacks risking hurting myself or my computers
Thanks all
Have a nice day

but I have as of yet not found a straight answer.
I think you are getting the straight answer. You need "buy a display" because a display has a video input port. An iMac has a video output port, but NO video input port. Therefore, you cannot use it as an external display, like a regular display.
You could give the iMac a video input using a USB interface device, but the cost of such a device that would provide good quality video into the iMac would cost about the same as (or more than) a low cost LCD display. And it would probably not be ideal in terms of performance.
You could also use this clever program to use a fast network connection and VNC to display the MacBook Pro's second screen on the iMac screen.
http://www.screenrecycler.com/home.html
In your case, the program will create a virtual screen for the MacBook Pro and shares it with the iMac in much the same way as the +screen sharing+ feature. Disadvantages are relatively slow image refresh rate (because the signal is going over the network) and the need to have the iMac turned on and running separately. The speed part will not be that bad in your case, if you use a Cat-5e or better Ethernet cable to connect the two Macs, so that you will have gigabit speed. You can give it a try at no cost to see if it is an acceptable solution (in time-limited demo mode).
I use this program to give my iMac a third display. The +third display+ is an old PC laptop running Linux (Ubuntu).
