2012 iMacs do you get a USB with OS X on?

With the new 2012 iMacs not having a optical drive, do you get a USB with the OSX on it for reinstalling?
If not, tree is I expect a hidden partition, but what happens if this becomes corrupt, need to upgrade the HDD etc?
Cheers

The OS X versions and upgrades are now done Totally on the internet.  No, you do Not get a USB stick with Mountain Lion on it.  The 2012 iMacs have a Mountain Lion Recovery Partition that you can access when rebooting, that allows you to reinstall a fresh copy of ML from the internet instead of from a Disk.  And since Mountain Lion still contains the Time Machine app, it is assumed that you will maintain on ongoing backup to an external hard drive in case your internal hard drive everbecomes corrupted or fails.
Hope this helps

  • How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?

    How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
    Good afternoon everyone...
    THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
    HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
    If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
    A……………………… B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
    A……………………………………………………B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYY
    And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
    A………………………. B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
    A………………… …B…
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    ………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
    My SPECIFIC CASE
    I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
    My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
    Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
    The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
    On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
    On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
    On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
    The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
    All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
    The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
    Can the line be made to WRAP????..
    In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
    1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
    2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
    But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
    I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
    I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
    We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
    Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
    Tony Calabrese.

    Steve,
    you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
    This thing is SO frustrating!
    Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
    I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
    So it looks like:
    &col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
    And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
    And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
    The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
    So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
    ...................................ppppp
    AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
    So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
    I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
    Have you ever come across anything like this?
    Thankyou again,
    Tony Calabrese 12/4/2007

    1. Make sure Safari is updated completely. You can check by clicking SAFARI> ABOUT SAFARI
    Safari 5.0.5 gave me this problem but the new update is 5.1.2
    2.Glims - Free ad on for Safari which enables you to view you window in COMPLETE full screen at all times, as well as maximise your window to fill all empty space (makes so you dont have to worry about accidentally clicking on your desktop which I do all the time lol). You can use this option once Glims is installed simply by clicking on
    SAFARI> Full Screen
    or
    SAFARI> Maximise Window Size
    By doing Full Screen mode you can then click on the full screen capability on the website you are on

  • If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

    If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

    No. But you have to purchase a data plan in order to use the iPad via the 3G connection. Some 3G iPad owners do not have internet service at home and rely only on the 3G connection.
    If you do not purchase a data plan to use with the 3G, then you will only be able to use your iPad where you can find a WiFi connection - like at a library, or a Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, a friend's house that has WiFi .....

    How on earth do you get in touch with HP Support center?
    I've phoned, mailed, used web forms - total silence.  One of our customers bought a HP pavilion dv7 from us and it´s got hardware errors so the customer returned it. It's dead and of no use to us, still under warranty, and we intend to return it to HP so we can get our money back.
    Mailed four times I think. First time I managed to get a case number, but searching for this number yields "case not found". Does't HP want to handle dead laptops, or what on earth is going on?!

    HP will not give your money back, they will repair it under warranty if there is one.

    I recently purchased Foo Fighters Sonic Highways on iTunes.  Where is the album artwork, liner notes and pictures?   When purchasing/downloading entire album on iTunes, do you get this information with the purchase?

    The album cover art should show on the album in the Music part of your library. For other pictures and/or notes, does the album description page in the store say that it's an iTunes LP (does it have an LP label against it in the store) ? If not then you will just get the tracks.

  • Just how on earth do you get menu transitions with sound to work???

    I've tried importing them as DVD compliant MPEG-2s (audio and video multiplexed) made with Main Concept and also tried importing them as AVIs.
    Encore seems incapable of transcoding either. Yes, it does try to transcode the MPEG-2s even though I've asked it not to. It seems that even DVD compliant files must be transcoded when used as transitions. It doesn't try to transcode motion menu or timeline MPEG-2s created in exactly the same way.
    Can someone tell me exactly what Encore requires me to import to get working transitions with sound? Exact format, sound resolution, number of channels, bitrate, file type, etc. Is there a minimum length for transitions? Mine are 1 second long - they're just the transition flipping from page to page in a notebook.
    Is there something else I'm missing or is Encore just not capable of doing this?
    I think I'm going to have to just scrap the transitions otherwise :(
    Thanks

    One second is awfully short for an MPEG video clip. You're really challenging the MPEG decoder on the playback device. And if you're using .ac3 audio, it can take up to 2 seconds for the AC3 decoder on a hardware or software DVD player to lock on to the audio stream. Dolby themselves recommend 2 seconds of audio "black" at the beginning of an .ac3 soundtrack.
    So - try lengthening the transition; or use PCM audio in your project instead of .ac3. Unfortunately, the PCM audio route leads to less space on the disc for your video.

  • How do you get your experts with negative stance for new things / innovations to HANA

    We have over 50 ABAP developer (senior experts). Primarily we develop in the old core module (SD, MM, FI, CO, HR, PP, CS, IH, PS) on ERP systems / business suite.
    We have three groups of developer:
    Group 1: They can’t await to work on new architectures – they’re open for all and have fun to work as a pioneer and dig in the deep of the system
    Group 2: For this developer it’s all the same – for this people it’s not a problem to go to a other architectures
    Group 3: They have no interest
    to work in new architectures
    to spend time to learn new things
    they are very closed for new things
    they have for all topics bad statements
    I am part of the group 1. In my opinion in the IT it’s normal to spend much time at new topics in free time to keep up to date. New topics / innovative things make the developer job very exciting. For me it’s regular process – and that’s my own passion .
    Since two month we have our own HANA system in our data centre as play field :-) (business suite on SAP HANA). I’ve some colleagues who made the HANA certification – and we made the first steps in our system. For group 1 and group 2 everything is okay and they’ve fun .
    We have problems with the group 3. They find every hair in the soup – they spend very much time to search arguments against HANA. That’s our “negative group” . We copied our SAP System to a new system and made a technical migration. Now they compare the SAP System, which is based on an oracle datebase, with the new SAP System which is based on a HANA System. They go through the standard ERP process (offer / order / purchase order / goods movements / delivery / MM invoice / SD invoice / material master data / customer master data / vendor master data / conditions / financial bookings / etc.). They main argument is, that they can’t see a grow up of the performance / the added value of the invest / etc. Our other problem is that the group of this people have experience over 20 years in ABAP developing – and their opinion have a high weight. The other arguments: IBM and oracle are working on similar architectures – and we can hold on on the open sqlsyntax / on the present coding.
    Have you similar problems to get the acceptance of group 3?
    Have you tips / tricks for us?
    Have you ideas for catching the group 3?
    What standard components are really optimized for HANA?
    In which standard components can we see a really performance grow up?
    There are standard use cases to see the differences?
    Which data volume do we need in the data model to see the differences?
    What can we do to take the group 3 with us?
    How can we open the group 3 for innovations?

    Hi,
    Please find my reply below.
    1. Have you similar problems to get the acceptance of group 3?
    In IT world we have similar groups. Only results help this group3. I would suggest showcasing on results.
    2. Have you tips / tricks for us?
    As you mentioned in your email, you already have HANA System to play with. So I would suggest looking at high performance transactions like MRP run and FICO Month-end Close.
    3. Have you ideas for catching the group 3?
    SAP has few use cases. Take-up these use cases build data models and use in ERP.
    4. What standard components are really optimized for HANA?
    Recently in our organization we replaced database from DB2 with HANA. Now our SAP ECC is running on HANA. Straight away we have seen 30% of performance improvement in all the transactions. SAP is providing optimized SAP Transactions and there is significant performance improvement and SAP Road Map clearly talks about providing more optimized SAP Transactions on top of HANA to its customers.
    We tried to push some of our high performance code to DB layer by creating the Data Models and using those views in SAP ABAP Programs or Transactions. This gave us significant performance improvement.
    Please refer to below document. This has list of standard optimized transactions.
    Link
    5. In which standard components can we see a really performance grow up?
    This blog throws light on following high performance transactions.
    Link
    6. There are standard use cases to see the differences?
    Use Case
    7. Which data volume do we need in the data model to see the differences?
    MRP run transaction has huge performance issue you can work on MRP Run data model.
    8. What can we do to take the group 3 with us?
    Only Proof of Concepts (POC) results will help to take this group.
    9. How can we open the group 3 for innovations?
    As per your email, I feel group 3 is most demotivated group. I would suggest to talk to each individual and understand there areas of interest and try to put them in their areas of interest. As per my experience this will give good results.

  • Remote Desktop 2012 R2 - Can't get RD Gateway with RD Web Access working through just 443

    I have one server (2012 r2 fully updated) running all remote desktop roles (RD Web Access, RD Gateway, RD Licensing, RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host) and a separate domain controller.
    I have RD Web Access published to cloud.mydomain.co.uk and accessing cloud.mydomain.co.uk/RDWeb works fine.
    I want to setup the environment so only port 443 is open from the outside (thus the RD Gateway is installed) and the user can login through RDWeb and click on an app to launch it.
    If I leave port 3389 open along with 443 and log on to RDWeb and click the remote app, this works fine.
    If I close 3389 on the external firewall and only leave open 443, I can connect AND login to RDWeb but I cannot open the connection
    This is expected:
    http://i.imgur.com/9j2HRqm.png
    Error:
    http://i.imgur.com/2LH2c7T.png
    Digging in the event viewer yielded: http://i.imgur.com/M9uHm0o.png
    Which led me to test change the following setting in the resource access policy, as a test:
    http://i.imgur.com/FlGObFr.png
    This still didn't work but yielded a different error in event viewer:
    http://i.imgur.com/LkaCfU4.png
    Now I suspect I have misconfigured something somewhere in terms of the last event where it suggests it can't connect to resource "cloud.mydomain.co.uk" I would have expected this to be the internal FQDN of my session host. Or, I am hitting some sort
    of odd problem because I have all the roles on the same box.
    Any assistance greatly appreciated. I'm keen to find the root cause behind this as I need to document this solution so don't want to invalidate by messing around too much with settings.

    Hi Gavin,
    If you use RD Gateway then you only need to open TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391 and forward them to your RD Gateway server.  You may have RD Web Access (uses TCP port 443) and RDG running on the same server.
    When an external client launches a RemoteApp they will connect to your RD Gateway via TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391, then the RDG will connect to your internal RDSH servers using TCP port 3389 and UDP port 3389 on behalf of the external client.  In
    this way the RDG will act as a middleman between your external users and your internal RDSH servers.
    In Server Manager - Remote Desktop Services - Overview - Tasks - Deployment Properties you need to specify the external FQDN of your RD Gateway server.  If you have RDWeb and RDG on the same server this would be the same FQDN that your users will use
    for RDWeb.  For example, if your users use https://rds1.yourdomain.com/rdweb to connect to your RD Web Access site, then you would enter rds1.yourdomain.com for the RD Gateway name in deployment properties.
    (Above one Quoted from this thread answered by TP).
    In addition please see that you have properly configured RD Rap & RD Rap policy under RD Gateway manager and also properly configured certificates to match server name.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.
