And could i replace it with the new iphone 5 or other apple products ?
And how much will it cost me .
Thank you for you're time.
<Edited by Host>If that iPhone was orignally sold in the US, Out of Warranty replacement cost
will be
Phone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149
Replacement will be an iPhone of the same color and GB. There is no option to upgrade
using Out of Warranty replacement. -
What are the GAP analysis? could you pls... explain with examples?
hi everybody.....
may i know what are the GAP analysis with examples?
thanks in advance...
and hope u will get it me that.Dear arunteja vasan ,
GAP Analysis
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.
Cut Over Plans
Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
Train Users
Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better.
Do award points if you found them useful.

My Wish List - Please, comment what are in your plans.
Guys, I really liked M7... But, some essentials features are missing...
The first item is really essential to me. There my list comes:
* Multiple Web Directory. For instance, thing on this project layout:
PATH: src/test/java
WHAT: Java test code
OUTPUT: target/test-classes
PATH: src/main/java
WHAT: Valuable Java code
OUTPUT: target/site.war/WEB-INF/classes
PATH: target/generated-source/java
WHAT: Generated java code. Actually I use for xwork and webworks generated
files by xdoclet.
OUTPUT: target/site.war/WEB-INF/classes
PATH: src/main/web
WHAT: Valuable Web files
OUTPUT: Its should be /target/site.war but its not possible now.
PATH: target/generated-source
WHAT: Generated web files, I have a lot of them. From web.xml to images and
javascript. web.xml,
jboss-web.xml and struts xmls files (when I use Struts) generated by
xdoclet. Images and javascripts
are just unzipped from special libraries jar by maven.
OUTPUT: Its should be target/site.war but its now possible now.
When it will be possible, WOW! It will be perfect. Its like IDEA does.
* ${variable.property} insigth... Like when I type ${ plus control+tab a
list of variables and so a list of fields.
* <%-- <nitrox:el-value name="" value=""/> --%> to show printed values on
design time. Like:
<%-- <nitrox:el-value name="custome.name" value="Someone Something Someway
Anything"/> --%>
<%-- <nitrox:el-value name="customer.age + 20" type="56"/> --%>
Hi, ${customer.name}, Do you know if I get your age and add 20 its
${customer.age + 20}
And so, you could show sample values pritend on design time.
* Velocity Support
* Freemaker Support
* Jelly Support
* OGNL support. (http://www.ognl.org/) Every new cool frameworks uses this.
Its will be a killer feature.
* Webworks support. (Okay, its just a dream)Just for your curious.
The wish number 1 (multiple directory) prevents me for buy NitroX to the
factory. We re planning to acquire a JSP editor but we cant change our
layout now and I believe that all files in the same directory is not a good
pratice. (Even the libaries jars go on what should be source diretory).
Take a look on Maven praticies. They are good.
The other ones are just sugestion and I would buy with or without.
By the way, I just tried to send some feedback. I really liked NitroX, its
fast, stable... Just the project layout is not so good... So I tried to send
some feedback to help you. I tried a lot o tools and I didnt send any
feedback because I didn't like them.
Thanks

Dolby 2.0.ac3 VERSUS AIFF? What are the merits of each?which is better?
Like the title says really... Which out of the Dolby 2.0.ac3 codec or the AIFF codec is better? I'm authoring a few DVD's and have had a few comments back saying that they can only hear one audio channel, I have been using just the Dolby codec in my DVD. Is it used for surround sound? is there one that I shouldn't use? Is one of them not widely used by DVD players or computers wanting to play them?
Any explantions of these two file types would be brilliant.
ThanksHey overcast
sorry for the delayed response, since you see everyone always say "use .ac3 over .aif), but sometimes the "why" is a little unclear, and a lot of times, it's just "use it bcz it's better".
as far as which is better, both have advantages and disadvantages.
for example:
f you want more technical info, let me kone of the biggest advantages of Dolby Digital (.ac3) is that it's the defacto choice for audio on DVD and a lot of broadcasaters, since this is the only codec that keeps (for the most part) the audio elements original fidelity at the lowest possible bit-rate from all video codecs currently out. one drawback is that the waveform has a stricter ceiling and floor, ie the loss of fidelity.
you would need professional decoders, verifiers and bit-stream analyzers to truly see the difference, but can you hear it, only the most attuned ear in optimal conditions can hear a difference (of course IMHO).
however, lossless apple audio (.aif) (believe me, still compressed, but with a small ratio) is almost as good and uncompressed (.pcm) audio and retains way more fidelity and a comparable bit-rate to that of the uncompressed audio. the range of the waveform is almost identical to that of raw audio.
an additional note for .aif is that it's bit-rate is almost identical to that of uncompressed audio, so it takes up more bandwith, but once again, the sound is "richer" therefore this is personally my codec choice when authoring music DVD's where i have stereo (again, IMHO).
i guess thats the meat of it. if you need more information, let me know.

It could also be the power supply. Do you have a backup of the OS. If you have a near by Apple Retail Store I would bring it in and let them do a diagnostic on it to find out for sure. Once you know what it is for sure, you can decide whether to fix or replace.

what are types of reports?
could plz explailn clearlyHi
From a theoretical perspective there are two type of reports
Classical Reports , and
Interactive Reports .
The classical reports are simple lists that display the data entries
in a simple format on one screen ( also called as basic list).
In case of Interactive reports , it is possible to transition/ move from the basic
list to secondary lists on triggering a command event like double_click ,
at line selection .
In interactive reports , on display of a secondary report , a new header can be
specified , as a different select query is executed for it .
The ALV reports are an expample of interactive reports .
ALC are of two kinds :> list and grid display .
These r basically used for customized data formatting and display.
Gris ALV has option for header details and provies a faciity for summing numering fields , or performing certain arithmetic oprns on it.
Alv reports can further b interactive where a secondary display is possible.
plz specify if u need further pointers on it

What are events In a screen
could u plz explain clearlyHello
the events of the screen are
Variants:
1.PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT. Process before output
2.PROCESS AFTER INPUT. Process after user input
3.PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST. User-programmed F1 help
4.PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST. User-programmer F4 help
Variant 1
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
Effect
Processing before the screen is displayed (PBO).
Examples
Initializing screen fields, inserting default values, positioning the cursor, showing and hiding fields and changing field attributes dynamically.
Variant 2
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
Effect
Processing after user input.
Examples
Checking values where there is no automatic check, processing the cursor position, processing correct entries or triggering an error dialog.
Variant 3
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST.
Effect
POH event for user-programmed help. Modules in this event are processed when the user presses F1 with the cursor positioned on a screen field. In the subsequent FIELD statements, you can specify a data element supplement (or determine one in an application module). The texts are then displayed by the help system.
Examples
FIELD XY WITH '0001'.
Displays data element addition 0001 for field XY.
FIELD XY WITH variable.
Displays the data element supplement with the number contained in variable for the field XY.
FIELD XY MODULE XYZ WITH variable .
The relevant data element supplement is determined in module XYZ, where it is placed in variable. Use this procedure whenever you cannot determine the correct data element supplement until the F1 event.
Variant 4
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
Effect
Event in user-programmed help that occurs when the user presses F4 with the cursor positioned on a screen field. The modules specified in the subsequent FIELD statements are called instead of the SAP help system.
Example
FIELD XY MODULE XYZ
Module XYZ determines the value of field XY and places it in the input field on the screen.
Reward the points and close the thread.

what are top-level workitems,i could see this check box in swwl tcode
Any single task is a top-level item, and in addition any workflow work items that are not subworkflows are top-level items. It is explained <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/15/7fbf2e2e18d411b1320060b03c6bfb/content.htm">at help.sap.com</a>
All work items are of course found in SWWIHEAD - not just the top-level items. Since both single tasks (type B or W) and multistep tasks (type F) can be top-level items you must identify them by their lack of a parent item. Specify WI_CHCKWI = (initial), that will return only top-level items. -
I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?
Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results. -
Forms and validations - here's some of my ideas, what are yours?
One of the big things still missing from the JFX space (especially where JEE is concerned) is forms and form validations. Maybe you guys have been luckier but at least 80% of the screens I've had to build in my career have been boring old forms - enter data in the fields, validate them and hit submit.
So, I've been hacking around on this to try and get a pattern and hopefully some reusable classes for doing this in JavaFX. I have something that works but the code is verbose and less than elegant. I'm hoping some of you guys might want to kick around some ideas on this with me here. If we can come up with something that works, I'd like to either include it in [url http://www.zenjava.com/jfx-flow/]JFX Flow, or put it out as a separate open source project (whichever makes more sense).
What I think needs to be supported:
* Map between a normal Java bean and the fields on a form
* Validate the data, i.e. specifying the constraints on a field and then checking those constraints
* Show a validation summary at the top of the form
* Highlight individual fields if they have validation errors
* Support auto-validation, i.e. the validation highlights and messages will instantly update as the user types
Some extra restrictions:
* The data input will ideally be a normal bean and so it won't have observable values on it. In most projects I use, the beans are coming from the server and sometimes may be shared between desktop client and a jsp/web client, or even be a third party API so they can't be changed. End result: we don't want any JFX complexities or dependencies in our server code (design leak). This rule could be bent but only as a last resort.
* The validations must be defined relative to the normal data bean not a JFX model or controller, etc. This is so the bean can be validated on the server as well as the client. The server must do validation to prevent dodgy data getting in (never trust a client). Ideally we don't want to be specifying the validations in two places (i.e. once for the client and once for the server) as this creates maintenance problems and weakens the integrity of the system over time.
* Ideally the validation mechanism will be based on [url http://java.dzone.com/articles/bean-validation-and-jsr-303]JSR 303 - Bean Validations as this is quite nice. This is flexible however if there is a suitable alternative that integrates better.
To give us something to reference in conversation, I've created a small working sample. This is only meant to be a rough starting point (at best) and I'd really like to get feedback on both the code (i.e. should we have a 'presentation model', how could bindings be better used, etc) and the general way I'm representing errors (i.e. should we use tooltips to show errors, or actually show the errors next to the field, should we use border colours or put a little exclamation mark over the field, should the fields be auto-validated or only validated on submit, etc).
The example is a single form for editing a person. It has three fields, first name, last name and gender. When the form is blank, auto-editing is off. When the user submits the form it is validated and from that point on auto-validating is on. Error fields are highlighted with a style change, and a tooltip is added with details (I think we can do better - what's your ideas?).
I have used all plain Java to keep thngs simple, but I'd be looking for the end result to translate to FXML as well. I've also coded everything into the one class but the eventual goal would be to have the common stuff moved out to reusable base classes, etc.
Here's a workspace with some example code in it: http://code.google.com/p/jfxee/source/browse/trunk/jfxforms/
Here's a running deploy of that code: http://zenjava.com/demo/form/forms.html
(edit: I've moved the code to its own project and changed the url for the launch - the values above are the new, correct ones)
Looking forward to hearing some thoughts on this topic.
Edited by: zonski on 01-Dec-2011 13:41At Devoxx I did some straw man prototype that you might find useful (or hopeless, I'm not sure which, I did it in a hurry :-)). I followed some principles that I was influenced by years back by JGoodies, but I haven't looked at the JGoodies stuff in forever and know it isn't all the same. But anyway, like I said, I'm not sure it is actually useful but maybe there is something genius hidden in there.
I have a Validator, which is just a simple SAM:
import javafx.scene.control.Control;
* @author Richard
public interface Validator<C extends Control> {
public ValidationResult validate(C control);
}The idea is that it is given a Control, it will validate that control, and then return a ValidationResult. ValidationResult is actually only needed in cases of errors, since returning null indicates success, so the following is somewhat of a crock but you could rename it ValidationError or something and remove the "SUCCESS" type and there you are.
public class ValidationResult {
public enum Type { ERROR, WARNING, SUCCESS }
private final String message;
private final Type type;
public ValidationResult(String message, Type type) {
this.message = message;
this.type = type;
public final String getMessage() {
return message;
public final Type getType() {
return type;
}For good measure I threw in a ValidationEvent.
import javafx.event.Event;
import javafx.event.EventType;
* @author Richard
public class ValidationEvent extends Event {
public static final EventType<ValidationEvent> ANY =
new EventType<ValidationEvent>(Event.ANY, "VALIDATION");
private final ValidationResult result;
public ValidationEvent(ValidationResult result) {
super(ANY);
this.result = result;
public final ValidationResult getResult() { return result; }
}Because Control's don't presently have the notion of validation built in, I created a ValidationPane which is like a specialized StackPane, where there is a bottom layer, the control, and a glass pane layer. And from CSS you can style it however you like. The ValidationPane has a CSS style class set in case of errors / warnings. So without augmenting controls, the idea is that a ValidationPane subclass would exist to wrap each type of control you needed to validate. It did this because somebody has to wire up the listeners to the control to react on text input etc, and so I thought I'd like that encapsulated in something reusable, and there it was.

}And finally the TextInputValidatorPane instance good for any TextInputControl. I think.

import javafx.beans.Observable;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.scene.control.TextInputControl;
* @author Richard
public class TextInputValidatorPane<C extends TextInputControl> extends ValidatorPane<C> {
private InvalidationListener textListener = new InvalidationListener() {
public void invalidated(Observable o) {
final Validator v = getValidator();
final ValidationResult result = v != null ?
v.validate(getContent()) :
new ValidationResult("", ValidationResult.Type.SUCCESS);
handleValidationResult(result);
public TextInputValidatorPane() {
contentProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<C>() {
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends C> ov, C oldValue, C newValue) {
if (oldValue != null) oldValue.textProperty().removeListener(textListener);
if (newValue != null) newValue.textProperty().addListener(textListener);
public TextInputValidatorPane(C field) {
this();
setContent(field);
}This should also be usable as is from FXML since you can easily wrap a TextInputValidatorPane around a TextField, and CSS does all the styling, so I think it all just works. You probably need to have some library of sophisticated Validators which know how to read text from a TextField and compare against the validation annotations, but otherwise it should work well enough. Anyway, in the actual implementation I think I would omit the ValidationPane stuff completely and just build that part into the controls / skins. Like I said, this was a quick hack but seemed to get the "how do I visualize validation errors" part of the problem solved.

When I sync my phone with my macbook pro, there are "3,307 items that could not be synced". What do I do?
What you should do is figure out why no songs will sync:
Is there an Apple ID problem? That's the most likely reason. Maybe you haven't signed in to your Apple ID on iTunes. Maybe the Apple ID on your computer differs from that on your iPhone.
Have you been syncing your iPhone to some other computer? It only syncs to one computer.
Are you using the latest iTunes? The current version is 11.0.5.
