Why do months and even years old episodes of podcasts get downloaded when a feed is refreshed?
I'm wondering why tonight it seems that several dozen episodes from months and years of a show's whose feed was refreshed and updated this morning, are being automatically downloaded? And there is no rhyme or reason as there are gaps in the feed in between the last show, and the shows being downloaded.
Why is this happening, as it is pretty much rendering the program useless as it uses up too much CPU space and it is listed as "Not Responding" in the task manager.
Ya I have noticed old podcasts showing up in my listing from time to time. Simple way to sort of stop it is go into your preferences for Podcasts. Change to only download the latest of the new Podcasts rather than all. Then next time your iTunes finds a whole bunch of "new" podcasts, they will all show up in your list as greyed out (not yet downloaded) listings and only the most recent one will download, which is probably the one you want anyway.
The previous ones can either be ignored or you can select the greyed out link and delete them, although they might reappear.

I have cannon mx870 it's not listed as an available printer for air print. Why it's only three years old and it has wi fi.
Probably because it pre-dates Airprint technology. The fact that it has wifi doesn't change anything if it isn't an Airprint-supported printer

new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of iTunes is required. So, i went to ITunes and found i have the latest version availble at this time. iTunes say phone can not be synced because it requires a version of 10.7 or greater?
iPhone 5 requires OS X 10.6.8 & iTunes 10.7 or greater. I suspect you're running Leopard, 10.5.8, correct? If so, you will first have to update your OS, then iTunes in order to sync your phone.

Grabbing Old Episodes of Podcasts
Is there a quick and easy way to download all OLD episodes of a podcast? I often discover a podcast that has been around for a while and perhaps has 50 or more old episodes. I can not seem to find a way to select all the old episodes and que them for downloading. I have to subscribe to the podcast, which then lists all the old episodes with a "GET" button next to each. But I have to step through all 50 episdoes and press the GET button on EACH of them to add them to the que. Surely there must be an easier way to just tell iTunes "hey catch me up", i.e get all episodes.
The settings in iTunes only refer to NEW episodes. So from that point forward I can have iTunes automatically download all NEW episodes, but no way to easily grab all old ones. So the seetings options for example say "When NEW episodes are available:" And you can select "Download ALL", but again, that only refers to NEW episodes.
Looks like Apple forgot to add a "GET" command. that way I can just select all the epidoses I want, and choose GET from a menu and add them all to the que, but no such thing...
Am I missing something?
PowerMac G5 Dual 2GH Mac OS X (10.4.8)Well, word from Apple is:
Dear Shahin,
I understand your concern that you are not able to select old podcast episodes all at once. Unfortunately there is not a way to select all of the old episodes at once, you will have to use the "Get" button for each episode.
I think that would be a great feature to add to the iTunes software. I encourage you to use the iTunes Feedback page to submit your feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Your efforts to share your feedback are very much appreciated.
Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer and have a great day.
Sincerely,

I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
any help?Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

I was receiving and sending my emails perfectly, now nothing gets downloaded? It checks for new emails but do not find anything and I know there is. Please help
Oh, the irony of referring to yourself as "myklthebrain". Make an appointment, at the nearest Apple store, with an Apple Genius, and hope that (s)he can sort it out.

My macbook is two and half year old, going to sleep mode randomly
Having used this Macbook for almost two and half years, my machine has suddenly generated the problem of going to random sleep. It started as an infrequent thing, then it started happening on a regular basis, to the point that it became almost impossible to work with it. When the computer goes to sleep mode, it doesn't wake up with any key, it has to be woken up by pressing the power button lightly.
Here are the steps I took:
1. The normal thing I did was search Apple Forum and then reset SMC, PRam, then changed energy saving options, everything. Nothing worked.
2. Ran the hardware test and no problems found.
3. Ran the Macbook with all options: with just the battery, without the Magsafe connected, with Battery and Magsafe connected together, with battery removed and the computer running on Magsafe only. Random Sleep continues
4. Thought must be a connection issue and ran to Apple Store in Kolkata, India, thinking that it could be a connection issue with the sleep-mode cable. Apple Store kept the Macbook for seven days, saying that they needed to check the machine, returned it on the seventh day saying that the machine was fine and charged me Indian Rupee 1,500/- (about $ 34). I came back home and the problem persists.
(Here I would like to add that Apple Service in Kolkata *****, probably ***** all over India, simply because Apple is not a major player in this country. The service engineer at Apple Store was at a loss with my problem and after seven days could only say, "We have done our internal tests and found no problem with your Macbook." When I asked about the Sleep Mode sensor connection, he said, "That is working fine, we have checked that.")
5. After coming back home, I faced the same problem, this time with lesser time gap. It would go off to sleep every one minute or so. I decided to set my computer on "never to sleep mode" in the enery saving option. Alas, that didn't help either.
6. I redid the hardware check, only to find that my computer hasn't detected any hardware problem.
7. Now, as a previous Windows user, I thought that the problem must have been with the OS. So, at the risk of losing all my files, I decided to reload the OS. (My original OS DVD was Leopard, but it was later upgraded to Snow Leopard by the vendor free of cost). I took backup in Time Machine, and backed up the documents in another Disk and reloaded the OS. All seemed fine so far, for about 10 minutes. I was now confident that finally I could solve the problem and was then planning to migrate my previous files to my newly loaded OS-X. Alas, I was wrong. Before I could connect the external HDD to my computer, my Macbook went back to its previous trick of falling asleep.
I'll definitely take back my Macbook to Apple Care tomorrow, but with my experience here in Kolkata, don't know whether they would be able to solve anything. Last time I had to show them the posts in Apple Forum to prove that Random Sleep is a problem that happens to Macbook.
PS: My Macbook is with aluminium body bought in January 2009. Out of warranty. My optical drive conked off long ago (after about 15 months or so after I bought the Macbook) and I live with an external drive.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Withholding Tax accumulation on monthly and per year basis
Hi,
one of client's requirement is they need to deduct TDS when the amount reaches 50,000 per month or 500,000 per month. In standard we can only give one accumulation type in withholding tax type definition, either per month or per year and also in min base amount there is only one field.
Is there any user exit available for this??
Can anyone please help me solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
JyotiHI Jyothi,
above funtionality is not possible is Standard SAP.
Only one Accumulation is possible.
As per my knowledge there is no user-exit also.

Time Dimension _ Report on Current month and previous year.TOTAL
Hi,
My Time dimension is as under .
July2013, Aug2013 ,......Jan2014,,,. June2014 = 2014.TOTAL
My requirement is to report based on context view along with previous period total (.TOTAL) values.
For example : If i am using CV as : 2013.JUL my report should show 2013.JUL & 2013.TOTAL
If i am using CV as : 2014.JUN my report should show 2014.JUN & 2013.TOTAL
Can anyone provide some direction to build the above scenario
Regards
KrishnaHi,
do you have the property YEAR in your time dimension filled out? If so, you could use EPMDIMENSIONOVERRIDE function together with an Excel cell.
Let me build an example:
Assuming your report has two columns, one for the current month and one for the total year. I would split this into two, one report per month, i.e. column. The first report will show the current period, the second the total. Somewhere in the header of your sheet use:
EPMDimensionOverride("001";"TIME";EPMMemberProperty(;EPMContextMember(;"TIME");"YEAR")&".TOTAL")
001 is the default ID of the second report.

Odd and even years with Time Windows?
Hi All,
Does anybody know how to implement a time window for even years / ode years?
For example, a script A that needs to be executed every 1st January of even years and a script B that needs to be executed every 1st January of odd years.
At last, it possible to :
- specify hard coded dates in TW for these scripts,
- use particular pre conditions (which script from A or B has to be executed) with a common yearly TW
but better solutions are welcome
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Yi JiangHi Yi,
If you need this for only one case, I'd go for the one-off setup of specific dates.
If you have multiple cases, a simple way to achieve your goal is the following set of time windows:
- TW_EVEN_YEARS: from 1-1-2010 to 31-12-2010, 1-1-2012 to 31-12-2012, 1-1-2014 to 31-12-2014, ...
- TW_ODD_YEARS: from 1-1-2009 to 31-12-2009, 1-1-2011 to 31-12-2011, 1-1-2013 to 31-12-2013, ...
and then
- TW_DAY1_EVEN_YEARS: day 1 enabled during TW_EVEN_YEARS
- TW_DAY1_ODD_YEARS: day 1 enabled during TW_ODD_YEARS
- TW_LAST_FRIDAY_EVEN_YEARS: last friday enabled during TW_EVEN_YEARS
- TW_LAST_FRIDAY_ODD_YEARS: last friday enabled during TW_ODD_YEARS
etc.
This way, you do not need to specify the dates for each case, only once.

Data per month and previous year
Hi all,
I have a requirement that is to show 2 columns, one for the actual data for a month and the other one to show the data for the same month of previous year.
For example:
Month Profit_Center Actual Previous_Year
08.2010 10000 10.25 12.50
I know that I can create the second column filtering by same month-12, but when i show the Month,the result is:
Month Profit_Center Actual Previous_Year
08.2009 10000 10.25 0
08.2010 10000 0 12.50
We want to show just one row with the actual month and both columns. How can I do it, without change the backend. I would like to do it in front end (in query designer).
Regards, FedericoHi Sukhi,
Thanks for your answer. I have tried with offset also, but the data is filled in 2 rows cause of i am doing a drill down by Calmonth.
Year/Month | Actual Data | Data of previous year
(08.2010) | 150 | 0
(08.2009) | 0 | 80
And I want to show just one row, like this:
Year/Month | Actual Data | Data of previous year
(08.2010) | 150 | 80
The idea of this is to compare the data between the month that i put in the preselection and the data of same month but the previous year.
Thanks in advance for your help, Federico -
Hi! I have a 5.5-year-old Macbook4.1, and I've been having problems with the display. I googled the problem and found out that I've got a wonky inverter cable. Apparently, the part itself is relatively cheap, but the labor (which involves taking nearly the whole laptop apart) means that the repair is expensive. The quote I got (in Germany, where I live) is 200 euros.
My laptop has been functioning just fine besides the display problem, but since it's already so old, it seems to make sense to buy a new laptop rather than repairing this one. However, someone told me that I should contact Apple first and see if they might cut me a deal on the repair, since I'm an existing customer and they'd want to keep me happy. I tried doing this through the Apple Support site, but I'd have to pay $50 to do that, which seems to defeat the purpose. Going to an Apple store is also prohibitively expensive, since there aren't any very close to me.
So my question is this. Does anyone see any reason why I shouldn't buy a new laptop? The one I would probably end up buying is about $550 (not a Mac), so it's more money than I'd pay for the repair, but...you know. Sunk costs, and all that. I'd be appreciative of any opinions!
Sidenote: in case anyone doubts my diagnosis, here's a description of the problem. When my screen is open, I can see a very faint picture on the display, but the screen is pretty much dark. When I slowly tilt the screen as if to close it, the picture suddenly comes back. So when the laptop is open at any angle more than about 45 degrees, the display is dark.go on give it a go! what have you got to lose;

You will need to return the data as a cross join between member number, business segment and sales rep hierarchy and then use a case statement on the report side to do the groupings based on this logic. The name column is what will display to the use
