Why does HP /compaq make such bad products

i have had a compaq presario cq56 for a little oveer a year and it seems that as sone as the warranty was over. It started having problems from the keyboard to the system shutting down randomly andc now the battery wont even hold a charge for mre then an hour. I have followed their suggestion on taking care of the battery. /i think this is the worst laptop i have ever owned and I think they engineer them so the fall a part after the warranty is over. And I camt even contactg HP , i cant find an email or anything to send them a message to.

Why does a letter make such a difference?

This script works:
try
tell application "Safari"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "history"
tell menu "history"
click menu item "reopen all windows from last session"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
return true
on error error_message
return false
end try
But try changing the S in the second Safari in the process line to lower case and it won't work. (if you wanna experiment quit safari, and this script is all about bringing back the stuff you were looking at so don't worry about quitting).
Is there a good reason for this or should Apple change it?

I don't know if it's a good thing, but the fact is that process names are case-sensitive, so that two processes, respectively named "Safari" and "safari", could +in principle+ be running at the same time.
To be sure about that, I wrote a very short script that I saved as a stay-open application under the name "safari" and launched while the "Safari" browser was already running. Then I executed the following statement in the Script Editor:
*tell application "Finder" to return processes*
--> {…, application process "Safari" of application "Finder", application process "safari" of application "Finder", …}

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design! It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product. There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad. I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating. I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad. The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon. Failsafe user experience?

Sales order does not allow make-to-order production

Dear Friends,
I am trying to do do planned order for sales order in MD50 it was showing the error message as
"Sales order does not allow make-to-order production"
Can any one solve this
Shakthi

Hi Shakthi,
It is also possible to set the priority for Requirement Type determination like
0 Material master strategy, then item category and MRP type
1 Item Category and MRP Type
2 as 1, with check for allowed requirement type.
The transaction for this is same as "Requirement Type Determination :
Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements --> Transfer of Requirements --> Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction
Look for "Source".
In this transaction, Please, check "Requirements".
Please, make sure of the following 2 things :
1. If you do not set an indicator for maintaining the requirements class: Transfer of requirements is not carried out, irrespective of the specification you make at schedule line level for the transaction.
So it is necessary to mantain the setting first at the Requirements Class. As mentioned in my earlier posts, the requirement class for the material can be found out from Planning Strategy / MRP3 view --> Main strategy (defined in the strategy group) --> Requirement Class for Customer Requirements.
The IMG path for "Define Strategy" is Production --> Production Planning --> Demand Management --> Planned Independent Requirements --> Planning Strategy --> Define Strategy.
2. Once the "Requirements" indicator is set in Requirement Class, the requirements indicator at the Schedule Line decides whether or not you require transfer of requirments for the relevant transaction.
I hope this should solve your problem.

Sandeep

HT1338 Why does mountain lion make my computer run slow and my Safari too?

why does Mountain Lion make my computer run slow and my Safari too? Please help!

The problem is probably not mountain lion. It works just fine on my computer. And a few million others.
If your computer is having problems, you can try to fix it with some simple troubleshooting maneuvers.

BizGuru,
Somethings to consider.
--| In Windows - the OS needs a goodly space for 'elbow room' - you don't want to have HDD free space drop below something like 15%.
Say your HDD is 600GB, 60GB free space is leaving you 10%...
-| RAM - May not be enough; more is better <g>.
--| Virtual Memory - if in Windows, open up Task Manager. Look at all the "stuff" there. Most is not required by the OS.
Most of the listing is "stuff" associated with a full cart of processes associated with things you may not need or use but they suck up resources.
--| Graphics - Processing images into PDF can be resource intensive. Having a dedicated graphics card with enough ram makes a difference.
Be well...

Why does no one make this cable?

Common problem: If you have your iPhone in a case, you won't be able to dock it to external speakers.
A simple solution would be an extension cable, 30-pin female to 30-pin male. I finally found one made by CableJive, which I bought from Radtech. However, it won't work because I'm using an Otterbox Defender case (which is excellent), and the case is designed to accept an Apple cable. While the electronics probably work, the plastic piece that surrounds the female end, which should be able to plug into the iPhone is not the same shape as the original Apple part, so it interferes with the case. It makes no sense to my why CableJive, who must know that their product will be almost exclusively used with iPhones and iPods, would shape that piece differently than Apple did.
I have no confidence that a second party product will work. I will probably use the original Apple cable on the iPhone end, but it's a male USB on the other end. Now, I have to figure out how to convert a male USB to a 30-pin female.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Dan,
I have a competitor to the Cablejive: the Sendstation Dock Extender, and am trying to use that with an Otterbox Defender case. This Dock Extender also has excess plastic that interferes with it connecting to my iphone with the Otterbox case. Can you please give me details about how you filed off the corners of your extender?
Thanks,
Nancy

Why does my mouse make blank spaces on my screen as I move it? It started happening after I downloaded Mountain Lion

Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it? It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.

You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.

Why does 9i AS have such lame EJB support? Where is this product going?

I installed 9i AS and really became disgusted with the product.
Oracle shows it's shameless corporate greed by hyping 9iAS as an EJB server -but 9iAS doesn't even support ejb 1.1 !! No entity beans! What a rip off...
Where is this product going? ejb 1.2 is already comming into the market....www.orionserver.com... BUT oracle doesn't even have 1.1 down yet....
What is the estimated development track for 9iAS?
As for me, I am ready to return my 9iAS copy...

Which version was giving you problems?
The latest version of O9iAS does in fact support EJB 1.1 (Session & Entity Beans with both Container Managed Persistence and Bean Managed Persistence). As well as Servlet 2.2, and JSP 1.1.
It does this through Oracle's Enterprise Java Engine, a highly scaleable reliable and available Java virtual machine. Unlike other JVMs, the EJE provides built in session isolation so programmers don't need to worry about thread collisions, concurrent garbage collection, or any of those things. Plus, you can compile the bytecode to native code before runtime for better performance.
That said... I agree the install could be a little simpler, but if you look at everything it's trying to install... you'll realize it's not trivial. Reading the documention is highly recommended.

My IPod touch 3rd gen. 8GB doesn't have any of the capabilities a "3rd gen." has. If I would have known this I might have purchased a 16 GB or 32 GB instead. Why did apple make such a product? Can I do something about this?

Please help.

That's because it's not actually a 3G iPod Touch. It's a 2G unit. Apple never sold 3G 8 GB iPod Touches, but some third party resellers erronenously reffered to them as so.

Why does apple only make 32 and 64 gb ipod 5's? The price went up, so i cant afford a new one

Why?

Apple, like a lot of companies, does market analysis to determine what the buyers want. Products are then manufactured to satisfy the largest majority of customers...they have to make economic decisions about the numbers of products based on predicted sales. So, the larger storage devices are what their market decisions said should be provided.

Why does it seem that Apple Wifi products are simply not that good?

Hello,
I purchased an AP Extreme base station about 4 months ago. To say that I am under-whelmed would be an understatement. I was not impressed with the AP Express I purchased as well. It seems that the products simply do not live up to the expectations. From the other manufactures, I had no such problems as:
1. Constant drop outs.
2. Lose of signal when the base station was sitting right next to the computer.
3. Low signal when the base station was sitting right next to the computer.
4. No connectivity and trouble joining the network when the base station was sitting next to the computer.
I have been patient, applied the upgrades (seem to make things even worse if that is possible), and still I feel cheated by Apple because their products simply do not work as advertised. This leads me to think that the 802.11N will also be a money pit. As I type this, the signal is completely gone between my AP Extreme and MBP 17 inch. Gone and the AP E is sitting less than 4 meters away. I have changed frequencies, changed positions (remember, I located it less than 4 inches away and it still could not find or had limited signal strength), done everything possible that I can think of. If anyone has a suggestion other than buying anymore Apple wifi products, I would greatly appreciate this.
I have taken the new 802.11N off the table to purchase, I would suggest others do the same. They simply do not work as Apple promised.

Sorry Steve,
I realized I did not answer your question. I have one of the new one's. Core Duo 2's. What are you doing to help your friend? I am willing to do anything now. I have repositioned my AP Extreme, changed channels, reduced power, sacrificed a goat, ran around the house three times and howled at the moon. Nothing seems to work. My wife's iBook (PPC) works like a champ. Strong signal no matter when she goes with it.

Why does time machine make a second/different backup after new installing a hard drive?

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster...
after having to install a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro, the new Time Machine backups are not recognising the original/older backups on the external hard drive connected via network router and has created a new/second backup caller 'xxx Mac Book Pro 1' instead of updating/reading the orginal 'xxx Mac Book Pro backup'?
Does anyone know why it did this? and more importantly how do i make it recgonise the original and stop making the secondary copy?
Thanks!

Why does my safari make my fans un so high on my macbook?

i keep having to go to the activity monitor to close down the safari prosessor to get my fans to keep from running on high, normally when i have to quit the prossesor it says it is running in the high 90's and sometimes even at 100,
why is it doing this and how can i make it stop (if possible)?

This is something that keeps coming up--some process runs wild and hogs the CPU and you have to quit it. Often it's a printer process, but it could be anything. Usually quitting it once is enough. But if it is happening repeatedly with Safari, there must be a reason. You could try emptying the cache and see if this helps. If not, you could try resetting Safari. If no joy you could even consider reinstalling Safari.
It sounds like Safari is going into some sort of loop and hanging up. With luck, emptying the cache will clear it.
Good luck!
