What hazards should I watch for with X.3.9?

Just got my powerbook back with a new hard disk. Apple returned it with X.3.9 pre-installed. I'm hesitant to leave it with x.3.9. Before definitely deciding to zero-format and start over with X.3.8 I was thinking about test driving X.3.9 for a few days.
What X.3.9 specific bugs/problems should I look for?
They also updated my
iTunes to 6.0.2
Quicktime to 7.0.4
Safari to 1.3.2 (and keyboard shortcuts already seem to be broken)
Mail to 1.3.11
I know there were reports that made me decide to stick at X.3.8 but Google search and a search of this forum don't jog my memory as to why. I'm not planning to update to Tiger.

Kappy, I know one must consider the universe of potential complainaints and not just who does the complaining. Nonetheless, I've always been one to let others work out the bugs. If I have no reason to update I sit tight. I discovered like 3 or 4 years after OS 9 was released that Apple was finally saying it was compatible with 604e chips (originally they said it wasn't). OS 8.6 worked well so I still use it in my PM7300.
Also, when I walked in the door of the Apple store yesterday the tech I know was shocked another disk failed. I mistyped when I wrote it's the 3rd disk in the powerbook, I meant to say it was the 3rd one that failed in the powerbook. I'm now on disk 4 since last May when the original one failed. That's why Apple rushed the repair for me. I know these hard disk issues are bizzare.
In contrast, my PowerMac's original disk lasted 6.5 years.
I'm fanatical about maintenance. That's why I lost no data with this disk failure (or when my PM7300's died). The last OS X update horror story I personally experienced was when Software Updater installed old security patches over the X.3.8 combo; Apple Care confirmed that the installed patches shouldn't have been recommended by Software Updater. I did a clean (i.e. zero format install of the X.3.8 combo and ilife updates) and the OS was solid. It would still be in use if certain OEM drives weren't... less than reliable?
Before that I was one of those people who's modem was toasted by X.3.4-X.3.6. Before that I had a powerbook that always tested fine for hardware and couldn't go 5 mins without crashing. One of the hard disks that died in my current powerbook lasted less than 24 hours. It upped and died when I zero formatted it. "Stressing it" with the erasure saved me the tons of trouble of restoring my data before it would have died anyway.
Personally, I think you are over-reacting
Once bit twice shy. Ever since the Apple Genius suggested it, I find doing the zero erase makes it far easier to determine a problem is hardware related and not just an OS gone bad.
I would give what you have a chance before you remove it.
I am trying out the X.3.9 that's installed. I might even keep itunes 6 if I go back to X.3.8: I've been using itunes 4.7. Safari OTOH is really annoying with it's broken/"improved" shortcuts. I'm just trying to get a handle on what sort of problems to be on the look for.
I appreciate your insights on how it's working for you. Tiger's out of my budget so I'll be sticking with Panther.

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).

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.

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums? Getting a cpu overload issue

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums (i.e. multi-output, stereo, etc)? Getting a cpu overload issue. I have a macbook pro, 4 gb ram, running Logic Pro 9. Just 3 tracks of drums and a few real instrument tracks. Can't find a guide in the manual for either Kontakt or Logic. Thanks in advance!

Hi
AR drums are complete resource (CPU) hogs. They work better if you turn off as many of the AR internal plugins as you can.
See section 4 (?) of the AR manual, which you can find within Kontakt (In the library area of Kontakt click hold the small "i" on the right of the "AR drummer" Library).
Alternatively, your only solution is to increase the I/O buffer in Preferences:Audio, with the associated increase in latency

What method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width

I have a four table. Only one table which are on top have a table header. I want that when user resize the topmost table with a mouse other table colume also be resized automatically. So I want to know that what method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width.
Thanks
Lalit

maybe you can implement a interface ComponentListener as well as ComponentAdapter with your topmost Table.
for example:
toptable.addComponentListener(
new ComponentAdapter(){
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){
table1.setSize(....);
table2.setSize(....);
/*Optionally, you must also call function revalidate
anywhere;*/
);

I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

What t_code should be used for migration?

Hello there,
our user wants to migrate "output vat" account after being audited.
actually , they start using SAP from 1st. January.2009 but now needs to migrate for reconciliation purpose.
Journal should be 40) output VAT / 50) Beginning Balance-BS.
Since this output VAT does not need any tax code and base amount, i think normal FI transaction like F-02 is not an answer.
Furthermore, LSMW is not strongly recommended at this time, considering line item to be created.
Could you let me know what t_code should be used for this case?
BR.

Hi
Note down the G/L accounts you are posting.
Option 1 :In OBD4 see the account group. change the tax category mandatory to optional field for running the lsmw. afte completion, set the status as earlier.
Option 2: goto fs00-> see the field status group.-> double click on the FSG-> see the taxes -> make the fields optional.

hi , i already get in to setting >Icloud> backup ,so what step should i do for my back up ?

You can't actually terminate an iCloud account, though obviously you can simply log out of it on all your devices and then ignore it in future.
I gather that the @icloud.com address is also the actual ID? You can't change that. However if your Apple ID that you use to log into iCloud is a non-Apple email address you can change that - please follow carefully the instructions here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudfaq2.html#6
If it's this non-Apple address which is compromised then changing the ID will solve that. If it's the @icloud.com address which is compromised then you cannot change that though you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
However if you add an alias the original address will still function, so if you are getting a lot of spam it will still arrive.
You can get a completely new iCloud account simply by creating a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com , for which you will need a new non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID.
You will need to sign out of the old account on all your devices and sign in with the new ID.
If none of this solves the problem and it is a security issue, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'.

Impossible to answer, I’m afraid. There’s just not enough details here and the very fact that you’re asking tells me that you should be very careful in choosing how to get this project done.

What hardware should I use for TTL synchronization?

I am searching for a hardware recommendation. Here's what the hardware should do: notify a PC program to run a subroutine upon detection of a TTL pulse (digital input change).
So I need one 1-bit digital input, and the device should communicate with a computer via USB. The TTL pulse voltage is about 4.7 V. Since the synchronization must be fairly precise, the delay should be on the order of 1 ms or less. Therefore the hardware should have a sampling rate of at least 1 – 10 kS/s.
I purchased the USB-6501 not realizing that it doesn't have any triggering or interrupt functionality, and now I don't think it will work for my application. I could constantly poll one of its inputs with my software to check for a change in value, but that would be relatively slow and hog my CPU. I would prefer that the device triggers or provides some kind of interrupt to my software application. I am considering using some NI software, but right now I'm using the session-based interface of the Data Acquisition Toolbox in the latest version of Matlab (R2013a, 64-bit) on 64-bit Windows 7.
I think either the USB-6008, USB-6009, or USB-6525 might be a good option, but I'm not sure. I don't fully understand the difference between the triggering/interrupt capabilities of the USB-6008/9 and the USB-6525. Any advice?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Brinmr,
i do not hava license for matlab so i can not test it.
On this page you found the supported NI hardware and here is the information the 6008 can be
used in session mode Supported Hardware - National Instruments- NI-DAQmx
and if i understand the function startForeground correct is this a session mode function.
You can made some tests with a simulated 6321 or 6251, but if this also not works then you should contact
the mathworks to ask them how you should implement your functions with mathlab.

What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?, What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?

Hi,
i am a student and I will use my MacBook pro to edit my movies, I will go to a film school and I think the preview of my previous works has to be professionally done. But I don't know what upgrades should I get to make the editing smooth, and have enough storage.

as an hobbyist on a shoestring budget, but with the head in the sky, based on my own experience:
8GB Ram is ok, 16GB is nice
most important, aside 'skills': …
<voice of Steve Balmer> ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD!!!
I'm handling here 4k material on a MacMini, which doesn't even have a dedicated GPU. In Multicam.
Distribute your materials on several hard drives, make a plan first, before editing, what & where, you get instantly messy and lost without a plan.
What mentioned before: back ups! I'm not shy using a 99€ Raid0 (=two 2.5" drives + Disk Utility's feature, to create 'software raids' ) - Raid0 are NoGo for pros, 'cause it doubles the chance to 'crash' - no prob for me, having my backups - inconvenient to reload everything - but I'm no News Room
For professional 'look' care for the other stuff :
tripod with 'fluid head', lights, more lights, ND filters set, ext. microphone(s) at last a shotgun and a lav, ext audio recorder (I'm abusing my ol' iPhone4 and a tiny box called iRig, which offer XLR connector), did I mention lights? , a good bag and a waterproof, lockable aluminium box, soft boxes for light, maybe a shoulder rig (starting at 80€), 200sq ft of some green cloth for green screening (if your school doesn't offer a 'studio') FCPX does marvel with even really bad lighted green screens, those handy foldable 'brighteners'/reflectors, to bounce light ('Rembrandt lightning') … finally tons of odds and ends, starting with gaffer tape, ending with SDcards ...
And DO things, try things, play with your stuff, make experiments just for the trash bin!
Enjoy your film school (I'm envy… )

What macbook should I buy for video editing?

I'm an indie filmmaker and I need to have a macbook that I can take with me, so I can do editing. I never owned one before. (I have an iMac at home) I would like to keep it around $1800 (with tax&Shipping). I've seen some refurbished 2011 models here on Apple way under that amount.
I need one that will able to handle Adobe CS5.5 and Final Cut without any problems. I've been told 512MB was more than enough to run FCP. Should I just go with the 1gb video ram model instead? I just don't want a macbook pro that has issues with playback and rendering issues. I found a 17" online for $1900 with 1GB Video Card. Is that considered a good deal?
In the future should I consider putting in a SSD drive in the to help speed things up?
Thanks in advance.

It doesnt matter really what macbook u buy.. If u buy the latest ones they have usually i5 and i7 processors which are quite powerful for Logic 9. The important bit is to have a good amount of ram 4-6 GB is quite good
Also if you make a practise to run just Logic while ur working on it and close other applications it should be flying.. Althought i am pretty bad at following this habit.. I have a macbook pro with the following..
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Works MAGIC for me

What query should be created for this case

Here are those classes:
Folder{

    @ManyToOne
    Subject owner;
Subject {
    String name;
}What query should I create in order to: find out if there is an actual Folder for a Subject with the name X in the database ?
Actually, the question is kinda stupid, but im not experienced with queries....

Your naming is confusing. Subject and owner are two very different things.
If I had two tables like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS owners
    owner_id bigint not null auto_increment,
    name varchar(80),
    primary key(owner_id)
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS folders
    folder_id bigint not null auto_increment,
    name varchar(80),
    owner_id bigint
    primary key(folder_id),
    foreign key(owner_id) references(owners)
);I'd write the JOIN query this way:
SELECT f.name, o.name
FROM folders as f, owners as o
WHERE o.owner_id = ?
AND o.owner_id = f.owner_idYou realize, of course, that if you're using EJB3 as the annotations suggest, that you don't write any SQL. EJB3 generates it dynamically for you.

What timer should i use for Tetris?

Hi. I've tried a few times to make my own tetris.
The problem is that when i move manually sometimes it respond correctly and sometimes it does not.
When the timer is off it works always right.
I've tried both util and swing timer.
I've had the same problem with other timered-games.
Any suggestion?
Thank you

The code is a little long.
This is the TimerTask
import java.util.*;
class GestoreTimer extends TimerTask {
     MappaTetris corrente;
     public GestoreTimer(MappaTetris mappa) {
          this.corrente = mappa;

          this.corrente = mappa;
     public void run() {
          MappaTetris.creaInterfaccia(Muovi.muovi(corrente,"BASSO"));
}which calls
     public static void creaInterfaccia(MappaTetris mappa) {
          Tetris.finestra.getContentPane().removeAll();
          mappa = RimuoviLinea.rimuoviLinee(mappa);
          JPanel pannelloComandi = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2,1));
          pannelloComandi.add(inizia());
          pannelloComandi.add(pausa(mappa));
          JPanel pannelloMappa = pannelloMappa(mappa);
