What is wrong with this thing?

Well, I was a very happy iMac user until late May when I suddenly started to get kernel panics every 15 minutes (without any added hardware/software), since then it's been repaired twice, first they swapped the RAM stick and since that didn't fix anything, the next time they swapped the motherboard. All was perfectly fine for few days, until this thing started to freeze with a very loud fan noise, it happens pretty much every day very randomly.
Things I've tried: reset PRAM, reset SMU, repair permissions, run the CRON scripts, update prebinding, resetting stuff in Open Firmware, run fsck, repair disk... then finally I tried re-installing Tiger using the Erase and Install-option, but my machine froze during the installation as well. Hardware Test has frozen a couple of times too, but when it finally did make through all the tests, it found nothing wrong.
Only thing I have plugged into it are the Apple keyboard and Mighty Mouse.
Is there anything I could do? I'm asking just in case since it was a such a hassle getting this machine repaired twice in few weeks since I have no car LOL How many times do I need to get it repaired until I get a replacement? Frankly, I'm getting fed up with this machine. I paid nearly 2000 euros for it, I expect it to last a bit longer than 6 months...
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 20" iSight - 1 gb RAM - 250 gb HD

There are a couple of things that could be wrong old kaka,
your replaced motherboard might be failing (it happens more than you think)or your Power Supply Unit could be on its way out (even more likely). Since you are clearly still under warranty, call Apple and make loud, but polite noises. In the long run, they should probably swop your machine out for a new one, but they will probably try for one last repair. In the meantime, please make sure that you have backed up and made a bootable clone of your HD, I use SuperDuper!, it's easy and accurate.
By the way, when you repaired permissions, was your S.M.A.R.T. status verified?
One more thing, buy AppleCare now, before your first year of ownership runs out.
Do post back with results,
Miriam

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

My macbook goes through weeks where when turning it on it goes to a black or flashing white screen. The light comes on but it will not boot up. Every once in a while I get lucky and it will start up. What is wrong with this thing!!!!???

Is my Macbook just getting old? If anyone has a fix please let me know I need this computer for college and I can't just leave it on all the time!!!

My IPOD will not charge and when I plug it into computer, the cord gets extremely hot but no charge, what is wrong with this thing?

My IPOD will not charge, I have tried the docking station nothing, I tried plugging into the computer and nothing but the cord got extremely hot. I need my IPOD, any suggestions.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Take it to the nearest Apple Store.

I can't figure out what's wrong with this code

First i want this program to allow me to enter a number with the EasyReader class and depending on the number entered it will show that specific line of this peom:
One two buckle your shoe
Three four shut the door
Five six pick up sticks
Seven eight lay them straight
Nine ten this is the end.
The error message i got was an illegal start of expression. I can't figure out why it is giving me this error because i have if (n = 1) || (n = 2) statements. My code is:
public class PoemSeventeen
public static void main(String[] args)
EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
System.out.println("Enter a number for the poem (0 to quit): ");
int n = console.readInt();
if (n = 1) || (n = 2)
System.out.println("One, two, buckle your shoe");
else if (n = 3) || (n = 4)
System.out.println("Three, four, shut the door");
else if (n = 5) || (n = 6)
System.out.println("Five, six, pick up sticks");
else if (n = 7) || (n = 8)
System.out.println("Seven, eight, lay them straight");
else if (n = 9) || (n = 10)
System.out.println("Nine, ten, this is the end");
else if (n = 0)
System.out.println("You may exit now");
else
System.out.println("Put in a number between 0 and 10");
I messed around with a few other thing because i had some weird errors before but now i have narrowed it down to just this 1 error.

What is wrong with this code? on(release) gotoAndPlay("2")'{'

Please could someone tell me what is wrong with this code - on(release)
gotoAndPlay("2")'{'
this is the error that comes up and i have tried changing it but it is not working
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 2: '{' expected
     gotoAndPlay("2")'{'
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
Thanks

If you have a frame labelled "2" then it should be:
on (release) {
    this._parent.gotoAndPlay("2");
or other wise just the following to go to frame 2:
on (release) {
     this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
You just had a missing curly bracket...

It says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

What's wrong with this function

What's wrong with this Function(PL/SQL) in this formaula column definition in Reports 6i
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
I get the following error in compiling
REP-1401. 'currdateformula'.Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01843 not a valid month.
The SQL select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual; worked well in SQL Plus prompt.
I got a clean compile when i use just sysdate in the function (see below).
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
Appreciate your help
Raja Lakshmi

hello,
what you are trying to do :
fetch the current date and return it as the result of the formula-column.
what you are actually doing :
fetch the current date, convert it to text, assign this text to a date-variable which causes an implicit type-conversion.
in your case you create a date-string with the format dd-mm-yyyy. the implicit conversion then tries to convert this string back to date using the NLS settings of your session. depending on your NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT this might work, if your session-date-format is dd-mm-yyyy which obviously it is NOT as you get the error.
what you should do :
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
this fetches the sysdate and stores it in your date-variable. there is no type conversion needed what so ever.
regards,
the oracle reports team

Hi, everyone:
when I insert into table, i use the fellowing SQL:
INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
(XHC_CALL_ENDED, XHC_SWITCH_PORT, XHC_SCRIPT_ID, XHC_FAX_SPECIFIED)
VALUES (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT, HH_SCRIPT,'N'
FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION
SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT, HH_SCRIPT,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');
I always got an error like;
VALUES (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT,
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00936: missing expression
but I can't find anything wrong, who can tell me why?
thank you so much in advance

For starters, an insert select does not have a values clause.

...and why are you doing a UNION on the exact same two queries?
(SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');

Hi,
thank you for your answer, but the problem is, if I deleted "values" as you pointed out, and then execute it again, I got error like "ERROR at line 3:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel", and I was then disconnected with server, I have to relogin SQLplus, and do everything from beganing.
so what 's wrong caused disconnection, I can't find any triggers related. it is so wired?
I wonder if anyone can help me about this.
thank you very much

Hi,
acturlly what I do is debugging a previous developer's scipt for data loading, this script was called by Cron work, but it never can be successfully executed.
I think he use union for eliminating duplications of rows, I just guess.

Scratch the VALUES keyword then make sure that the select list matches the column list in number and type.
1 insert into marktest
2 (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5)
3* select * from marktest
UT1 > /
16 rows created.

try this - just paste the code and give me the error- i mean past the entire error as it is if error occurs
INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
(xhc_call_ended, xhc_switch_port, xhc_script_id,
xhc_fax_specified)
SELECT TO_DATE (hh_end_date || ' ' || hh_end_time, 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'),
hh_switchport, hh_script, 'N'

WHERE hh_script != 'BROCHURE'
UNION

Hi, Jagan:
thank you very much for your answer.
but when I execute it, I still can get error like:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
so wired, do you have any ideas?
thank you very much

And this one,
Aother question about SQL?
I thought I already told him to deal with
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
problem first.
There's nothing wrong (syntax wise) with the query. (of course when no "value" in the insert)

What's wrong with this content type definition?

Could someone tell me what's wrong with this content type definition? When I click "New Folder" in a custom list, it should bring two fields 1) Name 2) Custom Order. However in my case when I click new folder, I see 1) Member (which is totally
weird) 2) custom order. Where is it getting that Member field from?
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

<ContentType ID="0x012000c0692689cafc4191b6283f72f2369cff"
Name="Folder_OrderColumn"
Group="Custom"
Description="Folder with order column"
Inherits="TRUE"

<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID="{35788ED2-8569-48DC-B6DE-BA72A4F87B7A}" Name="Custom_x0020_Order" DisplayName="Custom Order" />
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
</Elements>

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the custom content type with custom column.
I don’t think there is any issue in the content type definition, and it also worked well in my environment.
Did you have the Member field in the project?
I recommend you create a simple project only with one custom Order column and one custom Folder_OrderColumn, then you can add more fields one by one.
By doing this, it will be easier to find out the root cause of this error.
Thanks,
Jason

What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
Chime in.

The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING! Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL. I can't. But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support". These are very valid comments. But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL. In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users. Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost? That's up for individuals to decide.
I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

What`s wrong with this message "purchase of this item is not currently available"

what`s wrong with this message “purchase of this item is not currently available”,I test my app with sandbox,it always told me this message from this morning,but it was all right last night.

This appears to have been resolved over the weekend. A sandbox status page would be useful. The sandbox does have frequent problems, resulting in quite a lot of lost development time.

What's wrong with this formula?

What's wrong with this formula? Why am I getting 0?

Mismatch in data types.
Status, "=*Book*" is fine, as the content of the status column is text, and the condition is comparing it to a text string (with wild cards)
But
Event Date, "=*2011*" compares a Date and Time value in Event Date to a text string (with wild cards).
Here's a demonstration, using COUNTIF to stand in for COUNTIFS.
Note that the "book" counts are all correct.
Note that the first Date count counts both occurrences of Jan 2, 2012 in column A, despite the difference in format used in displaying the dates, while the second counts neither, due to the wild card forcing it to look for a text string, not a Date and Time value.
For your case, you'll need a COUNTIFS formula with three test-range, condition pairs:
=COUNTIFS(Schedule :: $A,"=*book*",Schedule :: $B,">="&B2,Schedule :: B,"<="&B3)

Barry
