  • Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

    Greetings,
    I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
    Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
    We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
    The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
    Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
    Thank you,
    Tim

    Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
    both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
    to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
    for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
    Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
    no need.

  • Several Questions about upgrading APEX

    Hello,
    I a several questions about upgrading APEX.
    I want to upgrade my APEX 2.0 to 2.2 and hopefully in a few month to 3.0.
    Is there a How To about upgrading APEX?
    What would happen to my applications?
    Would there be any problems about the applications when the APEX version is upgraded to another version?
    Thank you,
    Tim

    Tim,
    Yes there is (detailed) upgrade documentation provided with the upgrade itself, which you should definitely look through. The 2.2 and 2.2.1 releases are currently available here -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
    You applications will be 'upgraded' as part of the upgrade process (i.e. they will continue to work with the new software once the upgrade is complete).

  • Question about upgrade and original iPhone

    There might be other thread already, but have a question about upgrade to 3G.
    I have the original iPhone and have upgraded to iPhone 3G.
    The question is whether I can use the original iPhone indefinitely.
    People at Apple store was telling me I can use the original iPhone (without the phone functionality) as long as I don't restore the firmware.
    Is this true? What happens if Apple releases firmware in the future? Would this mean that I can only use this as long as machine doesn't require restore? I wanted to give it to one of my family members so she can use it as iPod so any info would be helpful ....

    My understanding is the same as the Apple Store Employee.
    If you try to update the software on an iphone with no service, I believe that it will be rendered useless.
    It may be possible to swap the SIM card for software upgrades, etc., not sure.

    1. there is no sticker on the back of the computer that gives information about the serial number of my windows 8...
    2. lets say in some magical way I could get the serial number out, can I use it to reinstall ? because Ive heard that you cannot use this CD key anyways unless you got a special win8 installation CD key from MSI because its MSI branded windows 8.

  • MS-6312 -- Questions on Upgrading RAM

    I have motherboard version MS-6312,
    It came as part of a Gateway package.  They included 128MB of PC133 SDRAM.
    I would like to increase the RAM in my system, without changing the motherboard.  I need to know the following:
    1)  The maximum capacity is 512MB on this board, right?  I would like to peak it at 512MB or whatever the max is.
    2)  There are two slots, will it recognize a single 512MB chip, or must I buy two 256MB chips?  I'm under the impression that it will not recognize a single unit, and I'll need to buy two of them.
    3)  Will 64x4 run on this motherboard, or do I need to buy a 32x8 chip?  
    4)  I'm under the impression that this motherboard only supports up to PC100, despite the inclusion of a PC133 chipset on the base product.  What is the maximum that is actively supported by this motherboard?
    Sorry for the trouble, I wasn't able to find this information on any of the websites. Gateway is full of complete morons as well.  They couldn't even tell me if I had pc100 or pc133 installed, let alone come ANYWHERE close to answering these questions.  The answers to a few of those questions, could well be the difference between a 50 dollar purchase, and a 250 dollar purchase.
    Note:  I do not have a manual.  I may have lost it, but I'm pretty sure it was just never shipped with the product.
    Thanks in advance,
    Joseph

    I can't find this type of RAM for sale anywhere.
    Personally, I hate gateway products.  But it's what my g/f has installed, so I'm left without choice.
    Gateway = Worst HD's and MB's possible.  They might promise a nice processor, some RAM, and maybe even a Vid card, but they slink and slime on everything else.
    I've been working with her computer about 2 weeks now and notice the HD is , and the Motherboard is .  I can't upgrade anything, because everything is so horrible, and can't help but wonder if this was part of Gateways massive plan to make long term money.  The MB they installed was outdated when they installed it (A 512MB capacity MB, that uses 32Xxxx RAM installed in 2002?  Pathetic!!)
    The bastards designed their system to make more money off tech calls that go, "Well, you want more RAM?  First, you need our newest great Motherboard!!!?  It's only 30843243 dollars!!"
    The gateway techs couldn't even tell me what the speed of RAM installed was.  I say, "Listen, it must be there somewhere, I just want to know...I assume that it's PC100 or PC133 RAM, which is it?"
    Gateway tech replies, "Uh, you have 128MB!!" and acts proud.  Freakin rejects.  I'm certified in A+ and CNNA, can't find a damn job anywhere, but these rejects get paid to know nothing.
    They read off a database, with no tech knowledge.  The lady I talked to sounded like she would have difficulty giving me a callback number, let alone the type of RAM I had installed.
    Gateway is such a rip.   bastards.  Reminds me once again why I have never bought a pre-made computer.

  • Two Fundamental questions on UPGRADE/Patch

    Question 1.
    If i upgrade from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0, should i call this as an Upgrade or Patching?
    Question 2.
    If i upgrade(or patch) from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0, can i reverse theses changes and go back to 10.2.0.1.0?

    You cannot downgrade the instance/databaseThanks Maran. But according to the following link (which Ying has suggested) 10gR2 can be downgraded back to 9.2.0.6.0
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/downgrade.htm#i1010243
    Just for clarification: You can only downgrade your database (without using a backup) if your COMPATIBLE setting is less than the default of "10.2". If it has been set to "10.2" there is no way of downgrading directly, then you need to restore from backup.
    If the COMPATIBLE parameter is still e.g. "9.2" then you can follow the instructions and basically - after performing the described steps - open the same physical database using a 9.2 instance.

  • Interview questions on upgrades from 4.7 to ECC

    Hi,
    Can any one please post some potential areas/questions that will be asked for upgrade projects from 4.7 to ECC6.0
    Points will be awarded.
    Thanks

    Hi Frank,
      this is good question,  why because sap upgrades from 4.6b to ecc 6.0 is very risky.
      take one example , in 4.5b , me21n application having 620 screen where as in ecc 6.0 having 9000 screen . that time we will take care of it.
       check the obsolete function modules ,  4.5b , having ws_upload, ws_download.... use cl_gui_frontend_services , under these having differnt type of methods.
      once you change the code in ecc , go to tranx : SLIN check the error where it is exact.

  • A few questions on upgrade fee, overage charge on prorated bill, and data usage when phone is on WiFi

    1st question, I bought 2 iPhone 4s's Dec 2011, unlimited plan which was up Dec 2013. April 19 2014, I bought 2 iPhones, 1 5c, 1 5s with the more of everything plan, which is not more of everything, it's far less then my old plan, but whatever. I got charged a total of $60 for a $30 upgrade on each phone. I'm not upgrading, my plan was expired, I bought 2 new phones and was forced into a new plan in order to get new phones, how is this an upgrade? Never been charged in all these years(early 2000's I became a customer) of being a loyal Verizon customer of an upgrade fee, unless I was upgrading my phone before the contract was done. If I was a brand new customer to Verizon would I get charged this upgrade fee?
    2nd question, my bill cycle runs from the 24th to the 23rd, since I bought these new phones on the 19th, there were 5 days left to the billing cycle, so they prorated old plan and new plan. New plan is 1 GB, 5 days were prorated, I used in those 5 days between the 2 phones 371.77 MB, and I'm being charged for an overage of 206.61 MB of $15. Now my plan gives me 1 GB a month, that would be 1024 MB, I didn't go over this 1 GB in the month, so why am I being charged an overage for 5 lousy days?
    3rd question, really 5 days and I used 371.77 MB's of data? Strange, didn't get the new phones until after 6pm on April 19th, yet I have all kinds of data charges on that day, when both phones were in my home, connected to WiFi the entire day. I spent the entire day online jerking around with 2 different Verizon employee's over getting new phones and a new plan in my home, on my computer, never touched my phone the whole day. Couldn't the day before I smashed the screen beyond use. So how on earth did I have all these data charges on that day? Now I could understand if I had, had the new phones earlier in the day, because there seems to be some strange glitch with these iPhone 5's were you use data, even when your phone is connected in your home to WiFi, but these were the 4s phones during the times of these data charges..
    I'm not happy at all, first I got jerked around by 2 different Verizon employee's online, every option I tried they had some stupid reason why I could not do that and that I had to go with 1 option, I got so fed up, I didn't process my order online. I then turned around and went over to Sprint and spent time online with a Sprint employee, where I did not get jerked around, where I could have placed my order and then went to the store and picked up my phones right then. But no I was foolish, long time Verizon customer, happy with Verizon until this day, so I got in my car, drove to a store and spent an hour doing the whole process over with a nice friendly store employee(not a Verizon store). Now I get these upgrade fees, overage fee for 5 days of data service, where I was not over my monthly 1 GB, and all kinds of data charges appearing in the 5 days of the bill cycle on these new phones. Might not be much strange added on data to some, but in 2 years 4 months of the 4s iPhones, never used more then 1 GB a month and now so far I will exceed that 1 GB in this new billing cycle and by at least 1 GB, it would be 2 GB's except I shut one phone completely down and the other one is down to bare minimum, when nothing has changed in the way we are using our phones, and we are not using more data. I have now completely shut my phones cellular data off, I've turned it on in this billing cycle 6 times, bare minimum of only when I absolutely have to. The other phone, I can't do that with, and that phone is going through double, possibly triple the amount of data then the 4s, same user on both phones. I do now shut the cellular off of that phone when it comes into the house and it's not turned back on until it's out my door, so I will see if these strange data charges stop for when the phone is in the home hooked to WiFi. On top of that, I have shut down every app on that phone that is needed when WiFi can't be accessed, cellular is turned off except for 2 or 3 things. This is a bunch of garbage, I have 2 smartphones, and I have to shut them down and turn them into nothing but a normal old phone. What the heck is going on with this?

    I will try to address your concerns - and explain why things are as they are ... you may not like the explanation but hopefully it will help you understand what has happened and what you can do moving forward.
    I got charged a total of $60 for a $30 upgrade on each phone. I'm not upgrading, my plan was expired ...  If I was a brand new customer to Verizon would I get charged this upgrade fee?
    Verizon's definition of "upgrade" is purchasing phone at a discount and agreeing to a new contract - if you are a brand new customer, you pay a $35 activation fee.  If you are an existing customer, you pay a $30 upgrade fee - this has been in place for about 2 years now.
    2nd question, my bill cycle runs from the 24th to the 23rd, since I bought these new phones on the 19th, there were 5 days left to the billing cycle, so they prorated old plan and new plan. New plan is 1 GB, 5 days were prorated, I used in those 5 days between the 2 phones 371.77 MB, and I'm being charged for an overage of 206.61 MB of $15. Now my plan gives me 1 GB a month, that would be 1024 MB, I didn't go over this 1 GB in the month, so why am I being charged an overage for 5 lousy days? You only had the new plan for 5 days - pro-rating means you get about 34 MB per day, or about 170 MB for those 5 days.  If you used 371, that a 200 MB overage.  You likely were only charged for 5 days of the new plan as well...
    ...  I have shut down every app on that phone that is needed when WiFi can't be accessed, cellular is turned off except for 2 or 3 things. This is a bunch of garbage, I have 2 smartphones, and I have to shut them down and turn them into nothing but a normal old phone. What the heck is going on with this?
    My daughter recently upgraded from her iPhone 4 to a 5c - her data spiked and she used nearly 1 GB in the first week where that was about what she uses an entire billing cycle.  We went through all her data settings and discovered she had about 10-12 apps (Facebook, Instagram, etc) that were updating all the time, connected to wifi or not.  She shut most of those off and will open the app and update manually when she is on wifi.  She downloaded and is using Onavo to manage her data and understand what gets used and when.  I hope we have it under control, but the defaults on the iPhone 5 seem to turn on everything to update constantly, and that's just not a good thing.
    It does seem the iPhone 5 series takes more work than any phone I've ever used to keep data usage manageable. 

  • Cannot 'Unmark Blank' for FIB Questions after Upgrade from CP4 to CP5 (Fill in the Blank)

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm having trouble editing a fill in the blank question that was upgraded from CP4 to CP5.
    The problems is I cannot see where the blank is.  Not the blank in my sentence, I have that, but the entry box. When running the course the blanks are at the TOP LEFT corner fo the slide.
    but when creating the course I can't see where the blanks are, to move them.....
    So to Troubleshoot, I thought I'd re-construct the answers, I clicked the sentence, and clicked unmark ... but it does not unmark....
    <EDIT> Okay I got it to unmark, sorta, but not really. Now I have three answer boxes on the test in run mode, but cant see ANY in CP5 when building it. </EDIT>
    Hmmmmm
    Anyone got ideas?
    (re-constructing the question on a new slide is not desired, I have hundres of questions, considering my 30 courses.
    Thank you!
    Greg

    Hello,
    Sorry, but I do not understand your question quite well, it is an editing issue when upgrading. Perhaps it would help if you posted some screenshots?
    And to be sure: did you install the patch for CP5 released in December?

  • A question about upgrades and mroe upgrades

    I've got a question about the upgrade sequence and costs thereof
    I have CS5.5 Production Premium. Suppose I upgrade to CS6 production Premium. If, when CS6.5 comes out and I decided to upgrade, would it be considered an upgrade from 5.5 or 6 for pricing purposes?
    I presume the older the software the more expensive the upgrade but if I'm upgrading from my CS6 upgrade would it be considered an upgrade from CS5.5 9the original suite) or an upgrade from CS6?
    Thank you

    You have a CS5.5 now. Now, you upgrade to CS6.
    When CS6.5 come out. It will be considered as an upgrade from CS6 (and not CS5.5 which is your original suite). Hope this is clear

    1.can we have new name for the target database,Yes.
    2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as wellYou can create users, but it is not necessary. You need to pre-create tablespaces only if their characteristics/locations on the target are different than on the source.
    3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than thisNot that I am aware of - see the steps in the Upgrade Guide - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/expimp.htm
    4.How come we get consistent export wetherEnsure the database is started in restricted mode, so users will not be able to access the database during the export.
    >
    In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
    1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the databaseNo - DBUA will do this automatically for you.
    2.How can we move the files to the new locationYou can after the upgrade move the datafiles to wherever you want - use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_1004.htm#i2082829) command.
    3.Can we change db_name of the databaseI do not believe this is possible with DBUA.
    4.Can we use the old database as wellNo - the database will be upgraded by DBUA - there is no "old" database.

    1.Can we rename the db_nameYes.
    2.can we use old database as wellNo - the scripts will upgrade the database - there is no "old" database.

  • Probably a stupid question about upgrades...

    I originally bought Adobe CS3 Web Premium and upgraded to CS5.5 Design Premium last year.  I'm wondering if I upgrade, will my price be based on the CS3 license or the CS5.5 upgrade...?
    I'm guessing it will be based on CS5.5, but I want to make sure.
    -A. Ka

    There are no stupid questions!
    Regardless of whether you got to CS5.5 via upgrading to it or by originally licensing CS5.5 is irrelevant in terms of the upgrade price to CS6 as well as the media you use for the upgrade.

  • Questions in upgrade RAC from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2

    I am new in installing RAC and need help in upgrade RAC from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2.
    We have a 3 node RAC of 11.2.0.1 on refhat 5.2, and are planing to upgrade to 11.2.0.2. We are doing out-of-place upgrade. For our single instance DEV environment, it works pretty well that we install 11.2.0.2 and copy data from the old database, and then shutdown the old one.
    On the production RAC, I hope to install 11.2.0.2 on one node, and let it join the RAC with the other two nodes. Then do th same to the 2nd and 3rd node. I have the following questions.
    1) For Out-of Place upgrade, should I just follow normal installation to install grid infrastructure and then the RAC?
    2) In selecting Installation type should I choose Create and COnfigure database, or Upgrade an Existing Database?
    3) What should I do with the ASM? I want to use the existing ASM.
    4) Can I out-of place upgrade one node, and make it join the RAC, and then roll to another node, or I have to install 11.2.0.2 on all 3 nodes and configure a new RAC to replace the old RAC.
    5) What should I do with ocr and voting disks?
    Thanks

For our single instance DEV environment, it works pretty well that we install 11.2.0.2 and copy data from the old database, and then shutdown the old one. out of place does it mean you are restoring database on another server then upgrading? why like that any reason..
    1) For Out-of Place upgrade, should I just follow normal installation to install grid infrastructure and then the RAC?Yes, You need to build RAC environment
    2) In selecting Installation type should I choose Create and COnfigure database, or Upgrade an Existing Database?Upgrade existing database.
    3) What should I do with the ASM? I want to use the existing ASM.you need to create an ASM instance on new server..
    4) Can I out-of place upgrade one node, and make it join the RAC, and then roll to another node, or I have to install 11.2.0.2 on all 3 nodes and configure a new RAC to replace the old RAC.

    5) What should I do with ocr and voting disks?at the time of cluster installtion you need to configure , later you need to register database before upgrade.
    Thanks

  • Need help with question about upgrading phone

    Okay, so, here's what's going on:
    I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
    It's dying/freezing/battery life is terrible. Looking to upgrade.
    I don't have an upgrade available for my line, but my wife does.
    She's giving me permission to use hers, which a Verizon rep told me is fine.
    I want to use her upgrade to get a Samsung Galaxy Note II.
    The best price (subsidized) right now is on Dell's site ($169.99), which I could price-match at Best Buy (employee confirmed this). However, it's still a little high for me.
    I could get a better price by adding a line with this device - shave off $40 ($129.99).
    So here's my question: is there any way to add a line, get some immediate savings on the purchase, then immediately cancel the line (maybe only taking a little bit of a hit, getting most of the cost reimbursed for not using it)? In other words, how can I get this phone as cheap as possible?
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    If you add a line as you suggest, that new line will come with a 2 year (24 month) contract for service that will have a $350 Early Termination Fee (ETF) if you cancel the line immediately like you indicated.  There goes the thought of getting the Note II for the cheaper than the upgrade price.
    I recommend going with the price match upgrade @ $169.99 at Best Buy.  I can confirm they do the price match.  I bought my last phone from Best Buy and they matched the Radio Shack price I brought them and  I had a good experience.
    Good luck.
