Verizon New Years Eve Shambles!

Dear Verizon,
I held a NYE party, in Columbia MD. All was good and everyone was having fun.
As I had decided to deck the garage out, into a 'NightClub Scene' for the final hour or so in New Years, I thought it would be good to crank some music up and through. I tested this the night before, all was good.
So, how annoyed was I when come 1030 at night, I could barely play a track from my library across the Wifi or You Tube or any other streaming service - Its not like I was hammering it with HD content was it.
It was great if i wanted to play musical statues, but I didnt - I wanted to dance with my friends and celebrate new year and my verizon service was just dreadful - So thanks, for nothing - they day I get anywhere near what verizon offer in terms of speed I ll be amazed.
Thanks
Paul

FYI, you're talking to customers here.
If you had trouble using WiFi to access your home library on your home network, that wasn't a Verizon network problem. You most likely were at the limits of your WiFi range or had other WiFi interferers in your area. For example, if some of your guests had WiFi hotspots turned on, that could slow down your WiFi.
Had you tested WiFi coverage in your garage before hand?

IPhone 5 Apps won't open after New Years Eve

I got a new iPhone 5 for Christmas. Everything was working fine up until New Year's Eve. On January 1st non of my Apps will open. I've deleted them manually from the phone and reinstalled them from the App Store, powered phone off, put phone in airplane mode and non of my purchased Apps will open. Only Apps that work are those that came pre-installed. I'm thinking I might just go back to using my 3GS never had an issue.

Panic over!!! I just hit one of the apps and it opened....not sure what is going on but all looks good now. Phew what a relief.

Reset a Sequence at Midnight on New Years Eve

Hi,
How can I reset a sequence generator at midnight on New Years Eve?
Using SQL script and SQL-Plus, I know how to set the sequence increment to a negative number large enough to return the Next Val to 1 (then re-set increment to 1).
But, need help to understand how to cause this action to happen automatically. Im thinking along the lines of a trigger or stored procedure.
Thank you

I have some thing to add to John's idea.
You could use a negative INCREMENT BY. Typically most sequences are created without reference to minvalue. Oracle sets a value for the minvalue. If the original sequence was not created with 'nominvalue' then, the error like the following will show up.
ORA-08004: sequence sequencename.NEXTVAL goes below MINVALUE and cannot be instantiated
Hence you are better off doing the following in order.
1. Alter the sequence and set the appropriate negative INCREMENT BY and also specify 'nominvalue'.
2. Use a select statement to get the next value.
3. Alter the sequence a second time to set INCREMENT BY to the original value.
Some one could put this in a script and run it only once.

Troubleshooting RAM .... need New Year's Eve Help ...

I want to start out tby telling you just how cool I am.   It's 11:05 on New Year's Eve and I have been trouble shooting the RAM of my early 2008 Mac Pro for 3 hours.   Yep, real cool.
I have tried multiple configuration of memory cards - 4 in the top, 2 in the bottom; all slots used; 2 in top, 2 in the bottom .... replacing cards with alternate cards .... you name it.   For some reason it will only accept 4 cards and when I fill all slots it accepts 2 cards.
Can anyone help?   Your assistance is much appreciated.   Oh, Happy New Year!

Much appreciated guys!   You were correct.   I added another 2 4GM DIMMs. So the top has 4 4GB and the bottom has 4 2GB.   Top and bottom DIMMs are different manufacturers.   It works!
You know it's amazing how this computer is an early 2008 and the only real upside I see in new iMacs versus my computer is Thunderbolt (I upgraded my video card to a Radeon 5770).   Not that big of a deal ...
Thanks again!

ITunes required a restart twice during New Year's Eve party

I was playing music for a New Year's Eve party using iTunes on my MacBook Pro into Audioengine powered speakers. Twice, the music basically stopped playing, requiring a restart. You could hear some noise and the song that was playing at very low volume. I tried closing the program and reopening, but only a full restart brought the music back. What happened? I'm using iTunes 8.02.

I finally stumbled across a fix for this problem, and in case someone else is frustrated at some point by a similar issue I'm posting what finally worked to enable me to bring iTunes up at any time (without rebooting first).
The solution was to go to the preferences to uncheck "search for shared libraries".
I'm glad the problem is fixed, but Apple developers really should include a timeout function on iTunes search for a shared libraries. At least a visual dialog to confirm that the application is in the process of searching for a shared library on the network would help provide clues as to what is causing the spinning beach ball to appear right about the time the application window should pop up.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

MY IPHONE DELETED ALL MY CONTACTS - AT THE STROKE OF NEW YEAR

2012, end of the world?
Last night, New Year's eve, at midnight, my iPhone deleted ALL of my contacts. That was nearly 5000 contacts! I don't use MobileMe as far as I'm aware, and I don't want to sync to my computer lest it deletes all contacts from there too. How do I restore my contacts??!!

It will COMPLETELY restore everything to how it was the instant you backed up. However, you can back up your current state on your iPhone, restore from the previous backup, get the contacts, sync with iCloud, then restore from the latest backup to have your contacts AND diary entries.
This post shows that you are using iOS 4.3.3. To use iCloud requires that you upgrade to iOS 5.0.

Gremlins Strike After New Year

Well, Y2K came almost a decade late but it seems that the new year has brought some new gremlins to my previously acceptable 7216 DVR as well as my non-dvr STB. The DVR no longer does basic functions like pause or rewind on "live" programs - if I can make it pause after repeated button presses, there is no saved content to rewind through (it jumps ahead to real time). There are also lip-synch issues for the first time ever. Multiple hard reboots have limited effect as the symptoms sometimes manifest, and sometimes don't. Also, I had to do a hard reboot on the non-DVR HD STB for the first time ever since the TV display said "no signal". As stated, I never had problems like this, mostly because I faithfully do a hard reboot twice a week. Now it doesn't seem to matter. I wonder if the new year (leap year?) messed up the software? Not being an engineer, this is very frustrating and I truly believe these hardware issues (see this forum) to be the Achilles heel for Verizon FIOS. Verizon must rectify the hardware reliability factor soon. Thank you.

Try getting Tech Support to do a reset on your equipment. That may resolve the issues you're having. I was experiencing some problems that a hard reboot no longer fixed (although it had on previous occasions). After they did the reset, the problem I called about as well as several other minor issues I was having, were all fixed (for now anyway). I also have lip-sync problems (written about in another thread. It's a recurring problem that gets worse with time.) A reset from Verizon always greatly improves this, although it doesn't outright fix it. (Lots of speculation about whose fault this problem is and most fingers point back to the broadcasters. My thought on this is if they were actually the cause, why doesn't everyone experience this problem and why does the reset improve the sync???) So, calling in for a reset might be worth a try. (Maybe they ran a gremlin elimination program along with the reset?!?!)

Multiple libraries, projects and reorganizing for the new year

I have used Aperture since 1.0 and really like it but the growing pains are still present - over time of use, I've ended up with multiple libraries [2 main ones and 2-3 little ones that probably can be safely archived]. I want to start fresh in the new year and have a new Library that is my main one, my only one in fact == is it possible/feasible/desireable to export projects from Library A and B and then import the ones i want into my 2007 Library the way my new organizing system will be? I mainly have images according to geography and people [e.g. people in locations versus family and friends]. Can I consolidate all my Libraries into one new one for use in the future ?? Will exporting each project and then importing into my new master Library work??

I've been thinking just a little about what features I would like the next rev of aperture to have. Though I haven't thought through the specifics, easier and more efficient use and management of multiple libraries, projects etc would be nice. Whole aperture projects referenced from multiple libraries or some such? (I said I hadn't thought it through!)
It's over a year since aperture came out, macworld is coming up, and I suspect that 2.0 will be released eventually some time in the future, perhaps with changes (maybe even improvements!) in library and project workflow.
So while I too am considering how to organize my own aperture materials I am currently holding off for bit just in case there might maybe possibly be (Conjecture Warning!!!) something new announced soon....

How to change the year in a range of column dates to the new year?

How to change the year in a range of column dates to the new year?

Depends on the pattern of the dates. The last procedure will work for any pattern, or no pattern at all.
For examples.the dates are assumed to be in column A, starting at A2
Sequential dates?
Enter first updated date in the first cell.
Enter =A2+1 in cell A3. Copy the cell.
Select A3 to the end of the list. Paste.
With the cells still selected, Copy, then go Edit > Paste Values.
Evenly spaced dates?
Same procedure as above, but replace +1 in the formula with + and the number of days between dates in the list.
Randomly spaced dates?
Select cell B2. Press option-left arrow to insert a (temporary) column to the left of column B.
Click on the empty cell B2 in the new column. Enter the formula below:
=DATE(YEAR(A)+1,MONTH(A),DAY(A))
Copy the cell, then select B2 - Bn where n is the last ow containing a date to be converted. Paste,
With the cells still selected, Copy.
Click on A2, then go Edit > Paste values.
Click on the column B reference tab to select all of column B.
Hover the mouse over the right end of the reference tab, and click the black triangle when it appears.
Choose Delete Column from the menu that appears.

HT2523 How do I add shadow to the title of a document while in Pages? For instance: NEW YEAR'S NEEDS. I'm also at a loss to know how to create a folder for certain types of documents such as "Sermons" or "Lessons."

How do I add shadow to a title, such as, NEW YEAR'S NEEDS, while in Pages? I also don't know how to set a new folder for documents of the same type such as, "Sermons," or "Lessons." Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I very well may be over thinking this, but I tried duplicating and moving it, but the text distorts slightly, which can be mostly remedied by rotating it on the x-axis, although the light is still off. And the shadows and reflections are not visible - this is pic1... In pic2, I used "rotate 3d object" with the green and red arrows, instead of just sliding it up the y-axis using the coordinates in the scene tab. Using the green and red arrows to move the text preserved the reflections but the shadows now aren't visible. It was also hard to align the text perfectly in scenario 2. Thanks for the help
