What does a (-54) code mean and how do i fix it?

when ever I try to put new music on my iphone5 or 4s it comes up with a code -54. It will download the music on my phone either way but it will put the song under different artist or change the album photo.

I get the same when plugging the phone into iTunes - saying it can't sync - yet it does.

Question on SPAU and SPDD.

Hi Everybody,
I have gone through the links and the questions in SDN and ended up in some confusion...
What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
Will they come in these transactions?
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Please provide me the information..
Thanks in advance...
Rewards to the helpful answers...

hi Sankar,
Please find below, answers to your questions:
I have gone through the links and the questions in SDN and ended up in some confusion...
1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,
will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU. 
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
 Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).
Will they come in these transactions?
 Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity. 
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option
Hope this helps,

Role of spau and spdd and steps to starup upgrade

hi all
i want to know about the steps to start upgradation and role and at what stage sapu and spdd come in scene.
Thanks.

T.code SPAU and SPDD are used for adjusting Standard Objects.
1) SPDD: This is for data dictionary corrections.
This is mostly done by BASIS people .
2) SPAU: This is for repository objects (programs, functions, classes, etc.).
This is done by an ABAPer
In this Transaction for all Objects you will be doing a version Comparsion.
If you find any changes are done by the Customer in the Standard u will be Carry forwarding those changes in the new sytem which you are upgrading by ADOPTING MODIFICATIONS.
If you don't find any Customer Changes u will RESET TO ORIGINAL.

Hello mftoby,
Error 9 occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes.
This issue can usually be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
Note: For best results and the fastest resolution, it may be best to try the restore on a different computer. This will help isolate if it is an issue with the device or the computer itself.

Can someone briefly explain what is SPAU and SPDD

Hi All,
I would like to have some clarity on SPAU and SPDD. Different sites show different explanations.
Can someone briefly describe them?
Thanks
Vijay

SPAU - The adjustment of Repository objects is carried out with transaction SPAU. Only those objects that have been modified by you and are being redelivered by SAP in an upgrade are presented for adjustment. If the objects you modified are not being delivered by SAP with the current upgrade, then they do not appear in the display.
The system automatically recognizes during upgrade if modification adjustment is necessary. You are then prompted to perform the modification adjustment.
You must decide whether the objects contained in the adjustment list should retain your modifications or if they should be reset to original. This is mandatory and must be carried out for each object visible in the adjustment transaction. Otherwise, the new original stays active in your System. The objects continue to be displayed in SPAU as not adjusted.
SPDD - You need not perform adjustments with transaction SPDD if you have made no changes whatsoever to the SAP standard objects of the ABAP Dictionary You have only added your own development work to the SAP System, that is new domains, data elements, or table structures in the customer namespace. Only changed SAP objects require further processing.
For more details you may refer below mentioned links.

Tcode: SPAU and SPDD

Hi Guys,
Can some one explain me briefly about the Tcodes: SPAU and SPDD.
why these Tcodes are needed, wht is thr usage.
How to use these Tcodes.
Example me with some examples.
Thanks,
Lee

Hi,
Support Packs are the upgrades we get for one release of SAP. For example, for component 4.7 you have support pack levels too (you can see this in transaction SPAM). SAP releases support packs for standard corrections which you can also implement separately through OSS notes (if you do not want the import the support pack). OSS notes might not carry all the changes that the SP might bring.
These are the two activities that an ABAPer does during upgrade:
1. SPDD: This is for data dictionary corrections. If any standard tables have been modified, then that object appears in the list and you have to adjust it again after comparing the versions.
2. SPAU: This is for repository objects (programs, functions, classes, etc.). These have to be compared to the previous versions too and any missing bespoke code is to re-inserted. However, there are a few cases where it need not.
More Details;

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
Steps :
( (1) All Z programs and customization are adjusted in repository.
(2) Using these transaction the sap prepare phase undertakes all these.
( (3) Then u might have to take the Combined and Unicode C process which is like combined upgrade and uniconverison as well.
(4) First step is to change all ABAP programs to Unicode enabled.
(5) You have to run a upgrade tool called SPUM4.
( (6) Then u have to do data maintainence consistency check etc.
(7) Actually all this is done automatically when you run SAPUP and sapprepare.
(8) Run SPDD and SPAU transaction for data dictionary correction and repositary.

Transaction SPDD allows you to process Data dictionary objects needing adjustment. You should be very careful while making/accepting the changes as the impact is more than changing the program. The delay in SPDD will delay the upgrade project. The time frame for SPDD is before downtime and SPDD is performed in sand box client
OSS note adjustment is also a part of SPDD, where we either reset the OSS note (It will come default with the upgrade version) or apply the OSS note (If OSS note is applicable for our release and if possible note should be applied using SNOTE.)
Transaction SPAU allows you to process Repository objects needing adjustment.
This task involves changing/accepting the SAP standard object brought in by SAP because of upgrade. We might wish to retain the changes from previous version in SAP standard object because of typical business scenario. SPAU comes after the downtime phase of upgrade and is carried in normal client.

To what does G4 error code post16/4609 refer?

to what does G4 error code post16/4609 refer?
G4 MDD 1.42 PPC passes all hardware tests but gives post16/4609 error at start up.
What does it mean?
What is the resolution?

I don't get any unhappy beeps.
I get the chime. If I am not patient restarting I get high speed fan - I shut off be patience restart and get chime and search for drive then circle slash. hardware test gives me the master post 16 / 4609. - suggesting a bad drive according to other apple pundits. However, I have put two new 250GB WD drives in and still get a mass storage error. My G4 Mdd 1.42 supports drives 128GB+. I've replaced IDE cables and have master drive with out a jumper and have tried slave at CS and 3/4 slave setting all with the same result.
Target boot got me to the "firewire drive" showed me one unformatted 250GB drive and I used disc utility to partition it according the PPC settings. Still same error.
What gives?

HT201250 what does reported "error code 6584" mean ?

What does reported "error code 6584" mean ? when trying to get into my time machine back up.

First, I suggest you make another full backup to a locally-attached external hard drive. You should do that anyway. One backup isn't enough to be safe, and backing up over a network is less reliable than backing up locally. Then try each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
1. Restart the backup device. You can do that by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
2. Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences and check that the device is selected as a destination. If it isn't, select it and try again.
3. Hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the TM menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take a long time. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
4. Erase the backup device. With a Time Capsule, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups on the device will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the device again as a backup destination in the TM preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.

Thank you. How do i amend this? I have defined value1though.Yes, you did - but after the call to addFocusListener(...). It needs to be before it.
BTW, you did the same thing with "value2.addFocusListener(this)" and "sum.setEditable(true)" on the next two lines. You're attempting to call a method on an object that doesn't exist yet (i.e., you haven't called new yet).

What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop? I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files. How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)? Thanks for your help!

What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
That's all I can think of.

Help required in running SPAU and SPDD transactions for post upgrade

Hi All,
We are doing a system upgrade to EHP1.
We need help in SPAU and SPDD runs and why are they required in upgrade activity.
Kindly respond.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Rashmi

Hi Rashmi,
SPDD and SPAU are modification adjustments that you need to adjust after upgrade. This is a situation where the upgrade has to enhance some structures and elements that was available in previous version (probably 3.x). The system can not determine whether to overwrite the structures or to retain the old version. If the structures are custom structures, the system might overwrite any enhancements that you have done. In this kind of situations, the system puts any such structures and elements that it can not make a decision into these 2 lists. SPDD is for dictionary objects and SPAU is for configurations. You have to fix all the issues that are produced in these transactions. You need to first fix the ones in SPDD list and then the SPAU list. Once you drill down in those lists, it asks you to take actions like "change it", "keep the old version" or "ignore the changes" (I think these are the options). You need to chosse these options based on your analysis and turn all the yellow and red ones into green. Hope this gives you some idea.
Thanks and Regards

What does a grey file folder and ? mark blinking mean on my macbook?

What does a grey file folder and ? mark blinking on my macbook mean and how do I fix it???

With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
With 10.8 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
of actions, choose Terminal. When Terminal opens type:
resetpassword
and press enter.
You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case. Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box. Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset. Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

Regd SPAU and SPDD!!!

Hi,
I am involving in technical upgradation. I am getting the list of programs from my onsite persons and just correcting the programs and sending them the modified ones. But I want to know where exactly SPAU and SPDD transaction codes comes into picture. I never check these two tcodes while modifications. I have modified lot of pgms as of now. But I want to know about these transaction codes. Can any one tell me how and when can I use these two tcodes?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramesh,
When you modify any SAP Standard object it get a modification tag marked to it.
This modification tag is considered while you are upgrading and the complete list of modified objects is identified by SAP into 2 parts.
1. Data dictonary objects
2. ABAP Program (includes Executable programs, Includes, FM, etc..)
1. SPDD - Data dictonary objects are displayed in DDIC. This is done by BASIS guys while installations only.
Reason: If the dictonay structure is not updated before you execute the programs they might give you a run-time dump.
2. SPAU - Programs are later listed seperately. These objects are to be checked and adjusted later after the installation of the upgrade version is complete.
Hope this explanation is enough for you. If you want some specific info do let me know.
Regards,
Kunjal

What does it mean by Stream and how does it is different from Class?

What does it mean by Stream and how does it is different from Class?

www.dictionary.com does
Stream: An abstraction referring to any flow of data from a source (or sender, producer) to a single sink (or
receiver, consumer).
Class:
The prototype for an object in an
object-oriented language; analogous to a derived type in a
procedural language. A class may also be considered to be a
set of objects which share a common structure and behaviour.
The structure of a class is determined by the class
variables which represent the state of an object of that
class and the behaviour is given by a set of methods
associated with the class.
