Very very poor "Tell a friend" function in iMovie '08

Hi guys,
I just got the iLife '08 software yesterday. And already I've found a few minor errors that can be fixed with an update. In iPhoto there's an excellent invitation made for Mail when you select the "Tell a friend" function, but the one in iMovie '08 is JUST text! Oops! In .Mac is you already have a movie uploaded and you want to send an invitation directly from the web-page it creates a very similar invitation to that of the iPhoto app. So please look into that.
Talking about the .mac gallery invitation, there's a problem there too. The invitation asks me for my email and the emails where I want to send the invitation, but when the invitation gets there, my friends don't see that I sent it but rather that .mac gallery sent the invitation, this has to be fixed because now a days a lot of people have some sort of blocker for spam, in the very least it should send the invitation with my .mac email account, so that my friends would know that it came from me. Thanks. I hope to see updates soon.

Is this a general problem or is it a bad installation on my part?

"Tell a friend" issues...

Hi -
I had problems with the "Tell a friend" functionality yesterday. Don't know if this was just me or is more system wide.
Here's what happened.
I entered a bunch of email addresses, all correctly configured and separated by commas.
When I hit ENTER the system returned a vauge "the system is not responding" error. So I tried again and again, assuming it was either too "busy" and couldn't make a connection.
However....it apparently WAS working and was sending out the same email a ton of time; essentially I was spamming my friends!
Just an FYI....

IPhoto & "Tell a Friend"

When I click on "Tell a Friend" function, Email opens and everything looks and seems to work fine, but my emails just sit in the Outbox and never actually send.
If I click on my "Mail" icon on my toolbar, I can send no problem, but it seems if I try to use it within an application like iPhoto, it won't send my emails...?
Don't know how to fix it and it's obviously annoying.
Can anyone help!?

Vancouverite:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are clicking on the Send button, right? Check the sent box and see if they may have gone out anyway. Or try saving the draft, closing Mail, open Mail from the dock and see if you can get it sent that way.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Tell-A-Friend --- E-Recruiting

I test tell a friend functionality -- I get error as "Customizing error of tell a friend service". In SLG1, there is no error (everything is green). Why is happens?
Early, I get same error -- it said qualifications catalog no exist. So I go create quals catalog.

Hello,
In addition to what Roman has said, you also need to have set the send method, i.e assign value for parameter TF_SEND_METHOD in T77RCF_MDL_PRM. This is configuration to detremine whether you want candidates to send them e-mail from your mail server with personal message or you can configure to have the user send thorugh his/her personal e-mail address. If you choose client, when the user clicks on Tell a Friend, the system automatically opens a new window of the user installed and configured email (like Microsoft Outlook) with the link inside, or user has to copy and paste the generated link and paste in an e-mail to send to a candidate. You have to add the following through SM31 in view V77RCF_MDL_PRM:
Parameter = TF_SEND_METHOD
Description = 'Send mechanism used for Tell-A-Friend service'
Parameter value = ' '
In T77RCF_MDL_PRM you can then assign either OFF(Hide functionality), MAILTO (Client method exclusively), REGONLY (Only registered candidates can use), MAILTO_REGONLY(Only registered candidates can use client), ' ' blank means all candidates can use the server method.

"Tell a Friend" Feature for Apps Changed?

When I "tell a friend" via email through the button the app store, it no longer works on their iphone.
It used to bring up that app's page in the app store, now it tries to open a safari page before giving an error message. This is either a bug or Apple has chosen to make it so that those emails are only to be opened on a computer and opened by itunes in order to market the attractiveness of apps to people who don't already own an iphone.
I'm really hoping it is a bug they plan on fixing and not a move that puts marketing for Apple ahead of functionality for Apple customers. I haven't been able to find anywhere any kind of announcement that they were changing the way it worked. Does anyone know anything about this?

Both the Mac App Store and the iTunes App Store have a Tell A Friend function. You will find it by clicking on the arrow to the right of the price of the app in question.

Blackberry Link for Q10 with Outlook Sync has very poor performance and not good Functionality

I am wondering if anyone has tested this software. Blackberry Sync software for my previous phones were wonderful. I can sync my contacts and calender in a very short time. With this new Blackberry Link it takes about 1 1/2 hours Plus to complete. And when it does complete - it duplicates entries which I did not want.
Plus what is missing is the following:
1. I am not able to say Update both Device and Outlook any longer. This functionality is gone.
My question: How does it do a two way sync if I only have a choice to use what I have on my phone or on outlook only
I want to be able to update my Outlook contacts with changes and addition I made on my Q10 phone and update my device with changes I made to Outlook.
Why did Blackberry remove this very flexible choice? Plus Blackberry Link has very poor performance.
I work for a large company and I do Enterpirse Software testing daily. Performance is the number one complaint for customers on top of the UI and functionality.

Thanks for the reply.

A thing I noticed when I opened Descktop Software for the first time since the new Z30 is that the old application thinks it is looking for a Z30. I havent even opened the application since before I got the new device. The only way it could think I have a Z30 is if it is using a lot of the same files as Blackberry Link. That is some pretty terrible software development practices in my opinion. I'm going to take your suggestion and uninstall both apps, run a registry cleaner and reinstall BB Link and I bet it works a lot better afterwards.
EDIT 12 March 2014 7PM EST
Still all of the same errors with regard to syncing outlook contacts and Schedules. I will post all of the error messages I recieve here as I see them. Application is always started by connecting device with USB cable.
"Sync was unseccessful
Caught _com_error exception. Description(): Error in MAPILogonEx: MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED; Error(): -2147467259 (0x80004005); ErrorMessage(): Unspecified error; Source(): XCPCRdmptn.RdRDOSession"
REBOOT
Change to sync contacts only, 1-way sync to computer, always use device data
"Sync was unsuccessful
CPreferencesManager: Configuration Value for /Preferences/Account_1_65537/DevicePin not set in TransConfig.xml for translator RimBB"
REBOOT
Application went through the whole process and hung for about 15 minutes and then completed successfuly syncing contacts only.
Change to callendar only. Sync completed successfuly. No hang or errors. very quick.
A new recurring appointment on the device was not transferred to the computer.
Sync callendar again, completed successfuly.
Appointment is still not transferred to computer.
So far I've spent an hour tonight trying to sync my contacts and appointment changes from just one day. I'm not thrilled.

Apex report performance is very poor with apex_item.checkbox row selector.

Hi,
I'm working on a report that includes some functionality to be able to select multiple records for further processing.
The report is based on a view that contains a couple of hundred thousand records.
When i make a selection from this view in sqlplus , the performance is acceptable but the apex report based on the same view performes very poorly.
I've noticed that when i omit the apex_item.checkbox from my report query, performance is on par with sqlplus. (factor 10 or so quicker).
Explain plan appears to be the same with or without checkbox function in the select.
My query is:
select apex_item.checkbox(1,tan_id) Select ,
brt_id
, tan_id
, message_id
, conversation_id
, action
, to_acn_code
, information
, brt_created
, tan_created
from (SELECT brt.id brt_id, -- view query
MAX (TAN.id) tan_id,
brt.message_id,
brt.conversation_id,
brt.action,
TAN.to_acn_code,
TAN.information,
brt.created brt_created,
TAN.created tan_created
FROM (SELECT brt_id, id, to_acn_code, information, created
FROM xxcjib_transactions
WHERE tan_type = 'DELIVER' AND status = 'FINISHED') TAN,
xxcjib_berichten brt
WHERE brt.id = TAN.brt_id
GROUP BY brt.id,
brt.message_id,
brt.conversation_id,
brt.action,
TAN.to_acn_code,
TAN.information,
brt.created,
TAN.created)
What could be the reason for the poor performance of the apex report?
And is there another way to select multiple report records without the apex_item.checkbox function?
I'm using apex 3.2 on oracle 10g database.
Thanks,
Niels Ingen Housz

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately changing the pagination doesnt make much of a difference in this case.
Without the checkbox the query takes 2 seconds.
With checkbox it takes well over 30 seconds.
The second report region on this page based on another view seems to perform reasonably well with or without the checkbox.
It has about the same number of records but with a different view query.
There are also a couple of filter items in the where clause of the report queries (same for both reports) based on date and acn_code and both reports have a selectlist item displayed in their regions based on a simple lov. These filter items don't seem to be of influence on the performance.
I have also recreated the report on a seperate page without any other page items or where clause and the same thing occurs.
With the checkbox its very very slow (more like 20 times slower).
Without it , the report performs well.
And another thing, when i run the page with debug on i don't see the actual report query:
0.08: show report
0.08: determine column headings
0.08: activate sort
0.08: parse query as: APEX_CMA_ONT
0.09: print column headings
0.09: rows loop: 30 row(s)
and then the region is displayed.
I am using databaselinks in the views b.t.w

URGENT: Migrating from SQL to Oracle results in very poor performance!

*** IMPORTANT, NEED YOUR HELP ***
Dear, I have a banking business solution from Windows/SQL Server 2000 to Sun Solaris/ORACLE 10g migrated. In the test environment everything was working fine. On the production system we have very poor DB performance. About 100 times slower than SQL Server 2000!
Environment at Customer Server Side:
Hardware: SUN Fire 4 CPU's, OS: Solaris 5.8, DB Oracle 8 and 10
Data Storage: Em2
DB access thru OCCI [Environment:OBJECT, Connection Pool, Create Connection]
Depending from older applications it's necessary to run ORACLE 8 as well on the same Server. Since we have running the new solution, which is using ORACLE 10, the listener for ORACLE 8 is frequently gone (or by someone killed?). The performance of the whole ORACLE 10 Environment is very poor. As a result of my analyse I figured out that the process to create a connection to the connection pool takes up to 14 seconds. Now I am wondering if it a problem to run different ORACLE versions on the same Server? The Customer has installed/created the new ORACLE 10 DB with the same user account (oracle) as the older version. To run the new solution we have to change the ORACLE environment settings manually. All hints/suggestions to solve this problem are welcome. Thanks in advance.
Anton

On the production system we have very poor DB performanceHave you identified the cause of the poor performance is not the queries and their plans being generated by the database?
Do you know if some of the queries appear to take more time than what it used to be on old system? Did you analyze such queries to see what might be the problem?
Are you running RBO or CBO?
if stats are generated, how are they generated and how often?
Did you see what autotrace and tkprof has to tell you about problem queries (if in fact such queries have been identified)?

I must be doing something stupid: Very poor quality DVD rendering!

I am new to Apple products and after trolling this forum, I was able to create a DVD using iDVD on my Mac mini Core Duo - 2Ghz model. But, the video is of very poor quality (compression artifacts). I am lookging for guidance to creating a better video quality. But first, let me give you some background...
I have created enough DVDs for my home videos captured both from my S-VHS camcorder and min-DV camcorders (both PAL and NTSC) using Pinnacle Studio (buggiest software in the world) and Adobe Premiere Elements under Windows. I have clear expectation of video quality and understand the quality differences between various standards.
I have a fairly new toy - Canon Powershot TX1 digital camera which is an amazing compact camera that shoots 720p video @ 30fps and stores them in MJPEG format. Very good optics (10x optical image stabilized zoom). The only con is that it has very poor low light shooting ability.
The steps I took to create this DVD...
1. Import the .avi and .jpeg files from my camera into iPhoto library.
2. Use iMovie (all part of iLife'08) to stitch the avi clips and also some of jpegs. Added transitions, titles and music in iMovie.
3. Also, added some of my old low resolution avi files (from my older Canon camera - probably in 640x480 resolution).
3. Exported it in the largest file mode (960x540) which created a 1.8GB file.
4. Opened this movie file in Garageband and added the Chapter markers.
5. Shared it with iDVD which automatically launched iDVD and showed the chapters in very nice scene selections menus.
6. Invoked the Burn menu to burn the movie into a DVD using iDVD.
Am I using the right methodology (I want the chapters)? I also observed that an earlier project which was pure 15 minutes of 720p content created a 4.7GB size exported file from iMovie whereas this current project has 51min of avi (of which about 10min is low res and the rest is in 720p format) and 12min of still photos produced a 1.8GB file when exported. This clearly tells me that the exported file is of poor quality. Why did that happen? Was it because I mixed the content and included low res videos?
I should probably try creating a DVD from the pure 720p content and see how that looks.
Any pointers would be a great help. BTW, the mac mini, iPhoto and iMovie forums are just awesome. The quality of posts and responses is very high.

Thanks a lot, F Shippey.
I exported it as a .dv file and then I was able to produce the DVD correctly with the Revolution theme and 11 chapters. I haven't done any editing any clips yet in iMovie. In most cases, I will not need to do that in most cases as the Canon TX1 creates individual avi clips every time I record and stop a recording. Having used a camcorder for over a decade now, I know how silly most of the recordings are.
I will be rendering most of my videos as h.264 so that I can use the mac mini as a media server instead of using DVDs. I have to rip my own DVDs as h.264 soon (back to handbrake).
PS: While creating my first DVD in OS X + iLife'08 tools, I noticed the following bugs:
1. The clips disappear from the display in the editing window when the project becomes large and I had to zoom in and out to make them reappear. I verified that I wasn't viewing past the end of the last clip. If I hover the mouse in the blank window, it will show the clip in the preview window on the right.
2. I had 11 chapters marked in Garageband and then I shared it with iDVD, it created two pages of scene selections with 6 chapters in each page. In the 2nd page, it added a random window (unconnected) for the 12th chapter that I didn't have. I didn't check for that and so my finished DVD has this weird 12th chapter with a copied moving clip in the window, but when selected, it doesn't do anything.
These two bugs are way few compared to what Pinnacle Studio threw at me.

Very poor quality ichat video

I am new to ichat and I have very poor quality video links with my family. One in CA and the other in TN both are on macs. They are both very fragmented and broken up. Also there is a huge delay in the audio. Please help....I can't see my new nephew. Thanks

i am also having issues with my ichat video quality, and there is a delay on audio sometimes. i chat with my friend in philly; i am in brookyn, ny. sometimes the audio is in sync, and then sometimes we have a delay. but the video quality is so blurry on my end...i can barely see her. but her video of me is fine. my preview screen looks great, the connection doctor says everything is good.
i'm not very good with macs tho and computer jargon. i need someone to help me, but who can walk me thru this stuff like im in first grade.

Idvd: once a project is burned to dvd disc the resolution is very poor.

I have created a project in idvd with several sub menues and images. Once I burn the project to dvd disc the resolution is very very poor. Besides the images being very pixelated, the menu screens are just as bad(pixelated), so it's not just an image quality issue. The funny thing is, when idvd is open (in the editing mode) and I play the project, everything is crystal clear. Then I burn the project, and play it in my computer to verify and the quality is terrible for both, my images and the menu and sup menues. I did import my (hi-res, average of 5mb) images into iphoto, then pulled them in to idvd from iphoto. I used a supplied template, but did change the positioning and font of the text on the menu and sub-menues. I have chosen the encoding to be 'best quality' rather than 'best performance' under the idvd preferences menu. There has to be something else I can do to get a great quality with this program.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The funny thing is, when idvd is open (in the editing mode) and I play the project, everything is crystal clear.
iDVD's Preview function can and will lie to you. Use apple's dvd player as a more accurate indicator of what the final image (or rather disc image) will look like.
Additinal recommendations: Use best performance for QT content 1 hr. or less and not best quality setting. This may help somewhat. Also make a disc image first from the file menu in iDVD6 and then lower the burn speed to 4x or lower in apple's disc utilities or roxio toast. Use only Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R for troubleshooting purposes only.
Lastly, when shooting on minidv camcorders make sure not to pan too quickly. Avoid sudden movements. Use a tripod whenever possible. Make sure your subject is in focus and well lit. Use new / quality minidv tapes only.

- all options on all EAX panels tabs needs to be set 'OFF' (i.e. not enabled).
- if you're running the loop back test (line-out --> line-in), the Rec -source shall be set to AnalogMix() (or if you see the Line-In mentioned there as separate source then select it).
- you can set the monitor while recording by pressing the '+' sign above the Line-In slider (Surround Mixer) --> disable this option (i.e. no monitoring while measuring)
Other settings:
- windows audio performance options --> set acceleration and SRC to 00%
- on Surround Mixer, set master volume 00%, Source: Wave 00%, Line-In 50% and rec source 50% (adjust the signal level to ~ -dB by moving the Line-In or/and rec sliders)

Search for SAP notes is very poor

I find the "Search for SAP notes" functionality very poor
I was searching for a setting from a web.xml file
<param-name>SMTPFrom</param-name>
   in application area BOJ* and it came up with nothing
I even searched for
SMTPFrom
   and it still came up with nothing
but if I searched for
email from
then it came up with note number 1308076 which has an extract from the web.xml file I was interested in and even had the very line I searched for but it failed to find
is this very poor search functionality or am I doing something wrong?

I need a few tries to find a note too.
Especially the "Did you mean: ..." function is not working very well.
For example this one. I searched for "registered serverprogram" and it didn´t find anything.
But there was: "Did you mean: registered serverprogrammmmmmmmmm"
erm... yes. Very helpfull.
