Watch out for timestamp differences, will produce Bridge / xmp problems!

Hi all,
Setup: CS5, Win 7 32b, Canon EOS600D.
I forgot to change the camera's internal date/time from
summer time to winter time. Because of this, Bridge
would not accept and show changes made in ACR
(not until one hour had passed!).
It turned out that what timestamp a photo will receive
depends on if you download the photo using
Bridge / Photo Downloader or EOS Utility:
Computer time: 14:31.
Camera time: 15.25.
Time stamps from Bridge download:
created 14:31, modified 15:25, taken 15.25
Time stamps from EOS Utility download:
created 15:25, modified 14:31, taken 15:25.
Using the workflow Bridge -> Photo Downloader.
Bridge -> ACR | make a crop | click Done
-> Back to Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail would not
show the cropped photo, just the original, uncropped one.
Using the workflow EOS Utility -> Fetch ->
Bridge -> ACR | make a crop | click Done
-> Back to Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail will show the
cropped photo as intended.
Since the Bridge workflow had a modified time that was
one hour ahead, it would take one hour before
any ACR changes would be reflected in any
Bridge thumbnail.
So: which time stamp is "correct"?
The created/modified from EOS Utility
or the modified/created from Bridge download?
The one which makes me able to see ACR changes in
Bridge thumbnails at once, of course -- i.e. in my opinion,
EOS Utility behaves correctly.
Or are there any differing opinions?

In Bridge, "Date Created" is the date the Photograph was taken: i.e the date recorded by your camera and stored within the file. "Date File Created" is the date when you created the file on disc, that is the date/time when you downloaded the picture from your camera.
So when the date the picture is modified is an hour before the time the picture was taken I can see the confusion in Bridge. Just looking at it as numbers, it is not possible to change something that has not been created yet. That is what Bridge is saying.

I have found some evidence that the preprocessor variable PLUGIN seems to prevent macros from includes from being defined. The NPROC and SPROC constructs seem to be involved (partners in crime, if you will).

ps: Please see my related thread "What is the difference between xxProcs.h and xxCalls.h?"

Here's a gotcha that I bumped into:
extern "C" HINSTANCE gHINSTANCE;
I found it in a successfully developed code on the Windows/Plugin side. It is something that I had never used on the APDFL side AND my Windows linker is complaining about several gXXXX missing functions.
IOW: It sounds like the above statement is the solution to my linking problems. Somehow the APDFL seems to take care of the C vs. C++ details.

Two Q's: HD noise, and need to watch out for anything after minor "fall"?

Apologies in advance; I'm guessing that I'm concerned about nothing in both cases here, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask (besides making me look paranoid :D).
1) You know that "grinding/clicking" noise HDs typically make when working? (I mean the one normally associated with HDs, not any of the "click of death" stuff.) Occasionally, I hear a single grind/click that's louder and/or sharper than the usual. Anyone else hear that? I'm assuming it's normal, but just asking.
2) I put my laptop down on a wad of sheets atop a futon of mine while I did something else. Unlike usual, the laptop slid off the sheets onto the surface of the futon. The momentum caused it to further slide off the edge of the futon onto the carpeted floor (about 10.5 inches off the floor; it's a thick futon) with a very audible "thunk." It landed with one edge still propped on the edge of the futon, and I believe, tho' I'm not 100% sure, it landed hinge-side first.
Any chance anything got jarred out of whack or anything like that? Anything I should watch out for as I use it (as I'm doing now; seems fine so far)?
Thanks.

Perhaps, then, "grinding" wasn't the best word, because it definitely wasn't any sound that I haven't heard from a perfectly functioning HD before - just a little louder. "Whirring"? Hmm.
This still concerns me. The HD should not make any noise other then a very light tick or click caused by the r/w head seeking a track or another slightly louder click or even clunk when the heads park. The parking is a one time thing, repeated as often as once every half minute or so under some undesirable circumstances, not a continuous chatter of any kind. Normally it should only sound when you power down or when you move the computer.
One other normal sound is a "white noise" sound caused by the rushing of air as the platters spin. They spin at a constant speed but the whooooosh sound made can vary slightly due to the fact the r/w head may be near the center of the platters or near the outer edge, each place making a slightly different noise. The whooosh sound maybe should be described as a continuous shhh. It is always present when the drive spins if it is audible at all on any given drive. On slower drives, 5400 RPM, it can be virtually silent.
A hard drive can have a vibration that can be felt in the hand, and can also be heard as a hum. It will also be constant whenever the drive is spinning. It does not come an go. It is by far more common in 7200 RPM or faster drives.
• light clicking = head seek
• louder single click/clunk = head park
• shhh = air turbulence caused by spinning platters
• continuous hum = vibration caused by spinning platters

Watch out for EZ numbers

Watch out for a new class of phone numbers Verizon has termed "EZ numbers". Here in Philadelphia PA they are all in the 215-936 exchange, which was formerly only used for Verizon's weather forecasts. These numbers are an offshoot of 900 and 976 numbers and cost $5.00 per call. They give out passcodes for people to use on datelines, partylines etc. These numbers are never blocked automatically by Verizon; you have to call the business office and request it. Unfortunately knowledge about this is so rare that even some Verizon reps will not know what you are talking about but most will. These numbers are advertised by the datelines and partylines themselves. Also even if you get a block put on for these services, ordering certain optional features on your line such as Do Not Disturb or Call Intercept may cause the block to disappear as itt is not compatible with certain Verizon services. Be careful because if charges are made on your phone from these numbers Verizon will not take them off your bill and will then block BOTH your toll and non basic services until the charges are paid.

I was on the phone with customer service for an hour because I didn't understand my bill. I'm absolutely positive I'm paying the same amount I was previously, I'm absolutely sure that I have one less gig of data than I did previously and I'm absolutely sure that the sales person left out the details that would have told me this when I switched plans. The only compromise that happened here is I lost a gig of data because I believed what I heard at the store. It was a total misrepresentation presented in a way that's hard to pass up.
I'm done with Verizon regardless, I'm just spreading the word in the hopes that it helps others avoid this situation. I guess the one good thing is that it's not an extended contract so I can switch to another provider sooner than later.

What to watch out for on craig'slist

Found a 32g wi fi for $230 on craig'slist. When something is to good to be true it usually is. Is there something I should watch out for.

What to look out for is "the ad is on CL". :>
I have done a couple deals thru CL. A few seemed like scams, a couple I know were and the ones
that did go mostly well, the people said they would pay what I was asking then when we met, all tried
to get me to go lower. I guess they think that when your there and they are waving $, you will sell
instead of leaving and trying again.

What do I need to watch out for when installing Mountain Lion from scratch?

I feel like it's a good moment to erase everything from my computer and reinstall Mountain Lion. I'd like to know which things I should watch out for.
Most of my important stuff is located on an external hard drive. Some of the applications are located there as well, the other ones I can simply re-downloading, I don't mind this.
I have my whole iTunes library and my iPhoto library which obviously I'd like to keep. I'm also concerned about my text messages on my iPhone -- they're very important to me. And so are also my Notes, Reminders, and Contacts.
The thing is, I do not want to do a fresh install and then reload a backup. What would be the sense of making this? None I guess... I'm doing a fresh install becuase I believe there's lots of useless files and maybe even dangerous files on my Mac that I'd like to get rid of. I guess that if I would load the backup, they would all be here again...
Is it maybe possible to load only certain things from Time Machine, for example my iPhoto or iTunes library?
Maybe someone can help me here, totally new with this...

Alright, I'm slowly getting ready to do this. Apparently I do not need an install DVD but I can just press CMD+R to get to the option to do a fresh install, that's why my Mac didn't come with an install DVD (that's what I've read and what I've been told at least).
Now I'm wondering... do I need to copy those items from the User folder at all? I mean, I have a complete backup on an external hard drive. I could just go there in the folders and select what I would like to copy to my Mac again, suchs as my music library or photo library. Is there any risks? I'm worried about even the smallest things, like creation dates changing and stuff like this. They mean something to me

Something to watch out for...

hi, i was getting pretty desperate with my pc the other day, so i bought a gigabyte mobo, to try my cpu out on..
all started ok, untill installing graphic's drivers and such when i started to get the all familiar 0x0000007f errors..
so i looked at my cpu a bit more carefully, and guess what...
on 3 of the pins was a thin layer of heatsink paste..
so, with the help of a cheap toothbrush i cleaned the pins and put my old 875pNeo back to work..
yep.. i feel really dumb.
but got to thinking, how many others may well have greasy finger prints or heatsink goop on their pins??
hope it helps..

The CPU pins are really something to watch out for as if something goes wrong there, it'll goes wrong everywhere !!!
My friend's client try to fix up a P4 3.0GHz HT system himself so he don't need to pay for installation charges and the next day, he brought it back to the shop complaining that he was given a bad CPU, my friend tested the system and found out that was completely no sign of life after hitting the power button. At wits ends, we decided to take everything out to check and we were shocked to near death ... guess what... the socket handle wasn't even pushed in completely to lock the CPU into the socket and he has placed the CPU chip wrong without following the golden arrow and it caused the one empty socket and one fully bent down golden pin, what's worse was the Z-Bracket for the heatsink was not fully fixed in!!! So that wasn't a complete force to push the heatsink down to fully contact with the CPU chip... I've no idea how he set the whole thing up in such a mess... .
This bad setup has burn down the CPU itself due to overheating, one burnt CPU socket (almost the whole mobo was burn down...), one burnt FX5600 VGA card, 2 burnt DDR400 RAMs, 2 burnt dimm slots, 2 burnt SATA 120GB Seagate HDDs, 1 burnt CWT 550watts PSU and 2 burnt black and half melted IDE cables .

2-3 things to watch out for when SAP is the source for a Data Warehouse

Hello
What are 2-3 things to watch out for when SAP is the source for a Data Warehouse (Informatica for ETL and Cognos for reporting)?
Thanks
G. Vijay

Going through some or all of this might help:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.220
208.67.220.222
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

What is the recommended upgrade for OSX 10.6.8 and what should I watch out for with the upgrade?

I would like to know whether there is a recommended upgrade for OSX 10.6.8. Is it Mountain Lion? Is there anything I should watch out for in case I do the upgrade? My computer is not working optimally and now my external drive (My Passport, 1TB) is not recognized by my computer. Thanks!

You should try to get your computer working before you upgrade.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.

After osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?

after osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?

For us to help you we have to understand your problem. That means you have to provide an explanation of it as though we are all Martians. I don't know to what "macro" you are referring nor the "software" you had reloaded. However, from what you did describe I would like to infer you are talking about OS X. That your computer is not starting up, hence you get a startup gray screen with a folder icon that has an "X" in it.
That means the system software is not working properly or that you may have a bad hard drive. So, what you need to do is reinstall your OS X software. You will need either the original installer discs that came with the computer or a retail full Tiger installer disc-set.
You will need to boot from the installer and do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Verizon Navigator: Watch out for wrong directions!

If you downloaded Verizon Navigator, watch out! Make sure the directions are accurate before you start your trip!
I tried to use Verizon Navigator on a trip last week, to return to Raleigh Durham airport from Wilmington, NC. My starting address was in Wilmington, on a standard residential street. (Not a dirt road or unusual location.) My destination was RDU -- the Raleigh Durham Airport -- also a well-known address on I40.
Navigator worked fine during the week for trips around Wilmington, so I thought there would not be a problem with the return to RDU. Wrong! Navigator sent me on a wild goose chase up Route 421. When I reached the junction with Route 17 (with a sign "To I40"), Navigator told me, "Make a legal U-turn then drive 52 miles..." At that point, I knew Navigator was lost. So I took Route 17 to I-40 -- and switched to Google Maps.
This round-about trip up 421 and back to I40 ran through central Wilmington, which wasted 45+ minutes. I almost missed my flight at RDU.
If you decide to use Verizon Navigator, be sure to check the directions and route before you start!
I hope this is helpful,
Mark

Look, not only can you get incorrect information from a Verizon rep, odds are that if you call three different reps with the same question, you will get three different answers - and all three could be wrong.
I called once because activating a new phone had knocked a promo off my account (after I had been assured it wouldn't when I signed up and extended my contract). The first rep told me I couldn't have the promo back, that it was physically impossible to put the code back on my account as the system wouldn't allow it. I hung up and called right back, and rep number 2 said, "No problem," and had it back on in two minutes.
This same rep then told me that the promo was only valid for 12 months, then I'd go back to regular price. When I had signed up and extended my contract, I was assured that the promo would continue the entire two years ( I asked repeatedly). Hung up again, got another rep who told me it would last the entire contract. Asked for a supervisor, who put me on hold for 5 minutes, then came back to tell me it would stay in effect until I changed plans (beyond 2 years if I stay with the same plan)
Three reps, three answers. And don't bother asking them to send you their answer in writing - they will NOT under any circumstances put their words down in writing. They will offer to notate it in your account, but who knows if they actually do. And, how can you prove it's there if the issue arises?

Apex 4.0 install note - watch out for PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL 3 in 11g!

Hi all,
I just wanted to share a tidbit I found during installation Apex 4.0 on an 11.2.0.1.1 database on a slower computer...
We had our PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL set to 3 to enable code-inlining for PL/SQL objects - and this REALLY slowed down the apex installation big time. It was so slow I aborted the install, then restarted after setting it down to level 2.
After setting it to level 2 - it really sped up and installed fine.
I just wanted to share this in case others run into a hanging install like I did...
I'm thinking that apexins.sql should be modified to "ALTER SESSION SET plsql_optimize_level = 2;" before proceeding - but before then - be sure to keep an eye out for this...
Good luck!
Edited by: Philbewan on Jun 24, 2010 6:14 PM

Hi Phil,
Thanks for posting this information.
I've installed APEX 4.0 with optimization level 3 and code=type = native in an 11.2.0.1 database, and you're correct - it took a while. And I imagine on a "slower computer", this will take even longer. But I reason this is to be expected - you're asking the PL/SQL optimizing compiler to be most aggressive in its optimization against the PL/SQL objects of Application Express...and as you know, there is a lot of PL/SQL in Application Express.
Also, the installation and compilation step is a one-time event. If you're looking for maximum performance for each and every page view (execution of the APEX engine for millions of page views), the extra cost of time associated with installation seems almost trivial, by comparison.
I don't agree that apexins.sql should be modified to alter the PL/SQL optimization level. Customers have it set for a particular reason and the Application Express installer shouldn't override that.
Regardless, I do believe your advice to be aware of this setting is worthwhile for the APEX community. Thanks for sharing this.

Planning on Buying Used 2008 Black Macbook on Craiglist, what should I watch out for?

I have one in mind already and hte owner say that the battery is shot. but i have a 2008 macbook battery at home that I will replace that with. What are some things that i can do to test the computer to make sure everyhting else is in working order. What are some things to look out for?

DO NOT buy it unless it comes with the origional 2 discs that shipped with it. Ask to use disc 2 to run the Apple Hardware Test before you purchase it. Make sure EVERYTHING works. Bring a cd/dvd with you to test the optical drive. Open TextEdit or any word processing program they have on it and test EVERY key. Also, check
mac2sell.net to make sure they are asking a reasonable price. Overall, use common sense.

Watch out for timestamp differences, will produce Bridge / xmp problems!
