What is out there running OS Platform?

Hi All
My Palm T/X is dying. Like other folks posts that I've been looking at, I also only want a PDA to keep 'lists' . I use Smartlist to Go, Docs to Go, Quicken for Palm, assorted other 3rd party palm apps. OK, Palm is no longer making just a PDA; my cell phone carrier will NOT support any Palm Smartphone.
Is there any other handheld (PDA only) out there - by any other manufacturer still being sold as NEW and running the palm OS platform - that can be purchased. As I've read, consensus is to buy a used/refurbished device off the internet. That would be my last resort.
On the Dataviz site, Smartlist to Go can only be run on the OS platform. Their list of OS platform devices doesn't seem to list any devices that haven't been discontinued.
I'm almost at my wit's end, and up that proverbial creek. What is out there that will fit into my purse/jacket pocket that will suit my needs?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The biggest hurdle is that the Lithium Ion battery degrades at the time of manufacture. If a new T|X is been on the shelf for a few years it may or may not have tripped the safety mechanism to where the battery won't charge at all. At least, that's how I figure why Li-Ions tend to die when in storage with a power draw. On the other hand, a lightly used but somewhat managed device might have a decent battery. It just varies, but in my experiences buying used devices anything with a non-removable battery has fared worse than the user replaceable packs.
If it is dying because of a weak battery, it might be a good idea to replace it if it is not a hassle.

I can't afford an expensive microphone, but I want better quality than internal microphone to record voice. What's out there?

I can't afford an expensive microphone attachment, but I want higher quality to record my voice for eventual radio use. What's out there as far as inexpensive attachments that are easy to use? What can I do using my MacBook Pro?

Not sure what your idea of inexpensive is - have you searched for USB Microphones yet? There are hundreds of choices under $100 compatible with Mac or Pc. I'd be cautious and read reviews of the cheaper items as the built-in mic seems to be better than most $20-$30 ones.

What's out there like iMovie?

I have a Sonydigital video camera, however iMovie does not recognize the model and cannot transfer what I've recorded. Is there a software or application you could recommend me to install on my MacBook pro?

It depends on the nature of your interaction with Acrobat, also you don't mention whether you mean Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader.
PDFClerk Pro can perform many of the functions of either Reader or Acrobat Pro and do so more efficiently, and it can even do things Acrobat Pro can't. On the other hand there is functionality in the Adobe offerings (especially Acrobat Pro) that you won't find in either PDFClerk Pro, or PDFPen (Pro). So without specifically knowing what your needs are, it is hard to say which alternatives are viable for you.
You can easily try these software packages though. PDFClerk Pro, for example, is downloadable as a fully functioning demo (with the single limitation that in demo mode all output is stamped with a watermark), so you can see for yourself whether it would fit your needs.

Adobe replacement - What's out there other then Adobe Acrobat

I am tired of messing with Adobe Acrobat, is there another Mac friendly program I could use that adequately replaces Acrobat?

There are still NW 4.2 boxes out there running enterprise critical data

I just found such a NW 4.2 box, in a company, where I would never have
thought, that they are relying on such old software.
They are running all their desktops as thin clients fully virtualized
on a nice server-farm, want to move all their applications to web
applications, which can also run on Linux desktops - invest quite a lot
into custom development and hardware but at the momnt all their
production desktops are WinXP VMs. As I asked, why they didn't move to
Win7 I was told they have some DOS applications still in use.
Those should run on Win7 till Win 8.1 32 bit without issue?
No, because the main datasource is hosted on Netware 4.2 !

Yes it's almost 18 years ago since I started my first NW 4.x server and
I think 9 years ago since I downed my last NW4.11 server.

File server migration software, what is out there?

I'll be migrating about 9Tb of files from 10 file servers from the 'old' domain where we have limited rights to our new domain where we will be having to re-create (rather than migrate) users and security groups. We cannot set up a two way trust between
the domains. (one way may be possible).
The files are user shares, department shares and (unfortunately) PST files.
I was wondering if someone has experience or know about software that could help with this. I've found the
http://www.varonis.com/products/data-transport-engine/ Varonis data transport engine which seems to do what I need. (although I'm not sure if a trust is needed or not).
What would seem especially important is some functionality that 'maps' security groups form the source domain to the target domain groups.
I was hoping you might know of other tools that do the same thing? Any experience with a similar challenge?
Regards, Paul www.servercare.nl

Hi,
From the description, you would like to migrate data to a server in a different domain
with permission.
Copy files with permission is easy - robocopy could help with using /copyall. However the copied permissions will not be recognized as it is a different domain.
Thus if data need to be copied with permission, which means the same users and groups in domainA should be recognized in domainB. This leads us using ADMT (Active Directory Migration Tool) to do the user/group migration first.
However you need a Trust between the 2 domains to do the ADMT. If "limited rights" stopped you from creating a one-way trust (source domain trusts the target domain), you may not able to copy files with permissions.
FYI:

A1 - Launcher apps, what's out there?

My research into a new launcher is thus:
Go Launcher isn't very good
ADW Launcher doesn't show up in the Market, though the EX (paid) version does
LauncherPro - some odd recent reviews - not as good as it used to be; seems to be a discarded project.
Any alternatives - preferably free, and that don't require root? Or could I pick any of them and it'd be an improvement on the Lenovo launcher?

VTL works well. The one in the market is a paid version. But you can download a free one from XDA. I used the free one for quite some time on my other tablet and decided to upgrade to the paid. Some people complain because it hasn't been updated in quite some time. There are no reasons to update it since it isn't broken.

Best gaming laptop out there?

Hi, is anyone aware of the best gaming laptop that I can find at the moment? The price is not really an issue at this point, I just want to see what is out there. Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Forget HP. They all have inadequate fan and heat sink designs for heavy gaming.
http://www.pro-star.com/index.cfm?mainpage=productdetail&model=X8100&subpage=spec#gotop
This has three fans, two of which are dedicated to the CPU and GPU, one for each. The laptop is designed specifically for gaming.
This laptop's specs. blows any thing that HP has out of the water.

Hi, likely somethiung else, but Free Sophos...
http://www.sophos.com/products/enterprise/endpoint/security-and-control/mac/
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Whats the slowest MAC out there that can run Creative Cloud?

I was wondering what the slowest MAC out there is that can run Creative Cloud?

On the new install with a default Logic Project, kernal_task (activity monitor) shows 600% CPU usage when ideling (no audio or midi playing.
Logic using 600% or total CPU at 600%?
If it's total CPU usage and not Logic itself.. check for a runaway mdworker routine... caused by a spotlight bug thats been longstanding and never totally fixed... Resolve by stopping the MDworker routine and then exclude all drives from spotlight.. and add back in just the system drive. Wait a couple of hours for spotlight to properly reindex the system drive and then test with Logic to see if CPU usage drops down to normal levels...
If it's Logic that is using 600% then something very weird is going on that is specific to your system or install as that simply isn't normal behaviour even with using just the internal hardware and CoreAudio.

HT4759 I want to use icloud mail on both iPhone 4s AND my pc. icloud mail on PC is mega glitchy and frustrating because my PC is ancient, I run XP, & these DO NOT MEET req's for iCloud. Is there a email platform that will run well on both XP and iPhone?

I NEED to use icloud mail on both iPhone 4s AND my PC. I need to use both.
Trying to use icloud mail on PC is mega glitchy (STOP SCRIPT WARNINGS EVERY FEW MINUTES) and frustrating because:
1. my PC is ancient (but nicely refurbished/fast)
2. I run XP (with both Firefox and Chrome- newest versions)
3. thusly, I DO NOT MEET SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for iCloud.
In my passed attempts I found that
1. Yahoo doesn't work well on iPhone
2. Gmail doesnt work well on iPhone.
I must be missing something... an app or... maybe a donated/ NEW FREE MAC! (That would be sweet! Ha.)
Is there an email platform that will run well on both XP and iPhone?
or... Please say it isn't true: I would love a Mac tablet or desktop. We have no money for a mac. SOL? Is this iCloud apple tech only for wealthy middle class and above who can afford to have the newest and best of everything?

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

What other pro video software is out there for Apple?

Since I can't install FCS2 on my new MBP running Lion, what else is out there in professional video editing that I can install on Lion? Any suggestions? I've looked at Final Cut Pro X, but everyone is complaining about it....

Avid Media Composer 5.5.3 works on Lion. $995 for anyone who has a previous version of FCP (normally $2500).
Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5. Also $995 for owners of FCP.
Both on sale for a SHORT time (been on sale all month), so get them while you can. The one most like FCP is Premiere Pro. Avid is mainly for broadcast TV and film.

Since downloading Iphoto 11, we now cannot import photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-15 camera. Any ideas out there as to why this is occuring. I can still import them onto my laptop which is running Iphoto9

Since downloading Iphoto 11 onto our desktop computer we now cannot import the photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ15 into Iphoto. However I can import them from the camera onto my Macbook which is still running Iphoto 9.
When I connect the camera and IPhoto loads, the spinning wheel just keeps on spinning and nothing happens, I have to Force Quit Iphoto to get out of the program. Totally frustrated, it would seem that it is an Iphoto 11 software problem. Any suggestions out there?
Regards
Phil

Terence,
not sure what happens here right now, I didn't mean to be offensive. So please let's stay calm. There are some issues with Panasonics described in these threads, and they do sound similar to the issue I'm facing (somewhat hard to say, as a) these people do not use exactly the same camera as I do and b) the descriptions of their problems are not very detailed). I would retract the term "a LOT of issues". Sorry.
Back in September I described my issue here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308591?start=0&tstart=0
but then the discussion there stopped. Since we were still able to import images manually into iPhoto (and took care of leaving out already imported pictures ourselves), we could live with this as a workaround.
Since everything worked well recently on my machine with the latest iPhoto version, I decided to upgrade iPhoto on my wife's Mac (where the import problems occured) from '09 to latest '11 (9.2.1). However, after that iPhoto still could not import from the Panasonic's SD card (rotating ball when inserting the card reader, and rotating ball after starting up iPhoto afterwards even w/o card reader plugged in, until the next reboot). So I re-built iPhoto's database (32000 images - 12 hours). Didn't help either. It worked however with a Casio Z-1000's SD card. Thus I re-formatted the Panasonic card yesterday and it seems to work since then.
My point is that I consider it weird that a SD card works with one Mac and doesn't work with another, although both use the same version of OS X and iPhoto. And, I'm somewhat doubtfull that re-formatting the card will solve this issue permanently. I believe that I tried to re-format the card already back in September, when I dealt with the issue for the first time, but I have no prove of that.
I will keep an eye on it and will report here if the problem comes up again.
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Thomas.

Is there any way to track what reports are actively running on BOE?

Good Afternoon.
I am looking for a way to track the names of what reports are currently being run on Business Objects. We are on Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP3 and from what Iu2019m aware, the servers can show the administrators how many connections and how many jobs are running, and the auditing command can track when a report has completed/failed (from what I understand), but nothing really tells us what reports are actively being run.
The purpose of this is to measure impact for an emergency restart of the server, track down reports that are taking up system resources, and debugging issues involved with the SDK.
Background: We have several reports hosted on Business Objects, both Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence. These reports go to different universes and databases and use several different accounts depending on the project (no central generic accounts to the databases). Sometimes when people are running several large reports (some being upwards of 1 million rows) the users will open one, leave it to run and go to open several others, killing our session limit and resources on the server. In addition, there have been times in development that restarts have been required but there was no way to tell what reports were running, just the number of them, and in several different spots (RAS, Page server, etc.).
Wish list (If my first priority is answered, Iu2019m also looking for the following):
- One to one associations of what reports are being run by what users.
- A centralized location to see what reports are being run by users opening them and what reports are being run by users scheduling them.
- The ability to u201Ckillu201D a report that is taking too long to run by a user.
- Possibly an interactive dashboard showing the number of active reports verses the serveru2019s limit, what reports are set in queue, etc.
- The u201Cstageu201D a report is running in, so if someone is running a report but its stuck at the prompt for a variable stage, querying data from the database, getting data back from the database, producing and processing the data to the screen, etc.
If Iu2019ve missed something in the Business Objects tools or if someone knows of a way to extract this type of data from the Business Objects server (3rd party tool or custom fix) I would appreciate the assistance. Thank you for your time.

Brian,
I don't know if you tried using the Query Builder.
The query below (or some modification of it) may be of some help.
SELECT
SI_SCHEDULEINFO, SI_NAME
FROM
CI_INFOOBJECTS
WHERE
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 1
The SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_SUBMITTER property in the query result will give you the BOUSER value of the user that submitted the job.
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS takes the following values:
0     The job is currently being processed by the job server.
1     The job completed successfully.
3     The job failed. Check error message.
8     The job is paused.
9     The job has not started because dependencies are not satisfied (e.g. Events)
Best,
Srinivas
