A little question about the WWDC 2006 and Macbook

I was considering to buy my first Macbook, no, my first mac EVER these days, but after i heard of the WWDC 2006 i'm afraid to miss some new upgrades made on the Macbook when i buy it next week.
But someone told me too, that even if there are Upgrades, i probably have to wait them to come to Europe for about 2 month - and thats much to long to wait for me cause i need it for work in the next four weeks !
Hope you can say me whats to do
Greetings
Agent Darkbooty

Thank you very much for your help
But i've got still a question ..
..would you buy the macbook next week or would you wait untill the end of the conference ?
Seems like there will only be software updates for the macbook

I just have questions about the AirPort Express and how it works.

My household Wi-Fi is not the strongest in my room and I found out about the AirPort Express and I read the overvie, but I still have some questions on how it works, how its setup and other questions as well.

The AirPort Express will not wirelessly extend the signal from another router unless that router is also an Apple product.
Not sure what other questions you might have, but we'll try to answer if you want to ask.

Question About the S partition and Backing Up Content

Forgive me if this sounds stupid (and yes i did read online about this S partition business with thinkpads) but I am not sure if i had accidentally deleted the S partition or it is hidden and I am not able to see it. When I go to my computers, the only drives I see are C and W(W is my ultrabayIII added 500gb harddrive). I do not see a S partition. The Q partition I deleted. But when i go to the computer management location, I see: "SYSTEM_DRV with no Drive Path Letter (strange...), a Windows7_OS(C and my SecondHDD(W.....and no S partition.....does that mean that my S partition is the SYSTEM_DRV or did I unknowingly deleted it.
And another question:
Since I no longer got the Q partition, what does that mean I lost?? Does this mean that I am not able to restore my thinkpad to the original factory default with the factory-installed programs and drivers?? (even the faulty NVIDIA driver that gives bsods? lol?) Though I did see something that came with windows 7 called Create Repair Disk.....does this mean that it acts like a windows 7 CD which allows me to boot from CD and fix or reinstall windows 7???
sorry for this post being lenghy XD but thanks in advance for the responses.

I know we can clearn LR history on a particular image by clicking "clear all" in the history panel. Is there a way to do this for all images w/o having to go through all of them? I don't want LR to keep track of every little thing I did on every little image; if the development is significant, I would use virtual copy or snapshot. I think having all the history info is waste of space and may slow down LR.
Each history step could be a very small amount of space in the catalogue database. I'm not sure what you mean by "slow down LR." Slow down how? What activities or gestures will be impacted?
I am hearing you want to reset all settings to some large selection of your images , excepting some or all virtual copies or those with snapshots. It might be better to work with temporary catalogues, merging those into a master catalogue in a selective manner.

Perhaps the preview cache? You can also check to see if your raw cache is in there, too. I assume your managed photos are in a different directory tree (or trees.)

Question about the ECC6 migration and the retrieving of partner's address

Hi experts,
I have already post a thread about the use of the table BUT021_FS instead of BUT020 for retrieving partner's standard address.
I do modifications to my specific programs.
But what about the standard?like BUA_BUT020_SELECT_WITH_PARTNER for example
If I read the standard code, I see that it is still using the indicator XDFADR to specify if this address is standard or not.
I am new at ABAP and I want to know your analyse about it.
So, my question is : Is the result of this FM (partner address) correct? what I mean to say if I will use this address to determine if it is a standard or not.
Best regards.

Hi,
I understood what you mean but I don't use this FM explicitly.
I am analyzing a CRM 7 dump and I see in the traces of st22 the use of this FM.
The dump appears when I create new Organization and Contact in CRM WebUI. May be it's a validation of fields of address.But I think, I must put this other thread in CRM, but I you had some experience with it, it would be very helpful.
Thank you for your help,
Best regards.

Question about the Canon 8400F and scanning large photo albums

Hi,
Besides scanning negatives, slides, and individual photos, I will be visiting one of my relatives who is the "keeper" of some big family photo albums. If I recall correctly, the albums are pretty large and there are quite a few pictures on each page. I think (?) the pictures are permanently on the pages. Will this be a problems scanning the pictures in?
I think the albums are about the width of a full size keyboard and about twice the heigth.
Any help here would be appreciated. I do hope the pages can be individually removed one at a time from the album, but I do think that the pictures are permanently attached to the pages.
Thank you very much
Also, how good is the instruction booklet that comes with the scanner?
Thanks again

Will this be a problems scanning the pictures in?<<<</div>
Your only problem will be in positioning the album on the scanner. The included CanoScan software allows you to scan in multiple photos and the software automatically separates them.
Also, how good is the instruction booklet that comes with the scanner?<<<</div>
Who reads instructions? We're Mac owners!

A little question about the pencil tool

I have just a tiny guestion about the pencil tool in illustrator.
When i want to draw like it is a real pencil and make a lot of lines with it, then everytime when i'm drawing lines are disappearing because i'm drawing it again.
Maybe thats because i'm drawing over the other lines...but is there a simple way to make new lines all the time, so i can draw a bunch of lines over each other and agross etc.
hope you understand my crappy english.
with love,
Linda

Double click the pencil tool icon and check the options. You won't want to "edit selected paths"

Question about the gray screen and wheel that keeps on spinning !

After an update (I now have Mavericks 10.9.3) Safari froze. I tryed starting it again, nothing.
I restarted my computer (imac early 2008) and got a gray screen,an apple logo and a spinning pin wheel!
I could get into Disk Utility to 'verify and repair', everything was apparently OK.
I saw a letter from a few years ago (where it was from, i can'nt remember) it suggested restarting with cammand+v
to show where the fault was, it then scolled down a lot of witten material and stoppe at :-    'Bootcachecontrol : unable
to open/var/db/Boot cache. Playlist :2 no such file or dirictory.     I have no idea what it means !
Can anybody help me ? I miss my Mac !
Best Wishes from Jonathan Sandberg.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
     a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

A simple question about the Integration process and the PI system

Hi all
Out PI system gets more and more slowly .
in the Monitor I can se that there are many ufinished IP about 100.
in the Outbound colon there is a Watch icon with the message
QMessage being sent
and in the graphic of the IP thers is a Send Message Asynchronously with text in process.
my question is can those unfineshed IP be guilty in slowing down the system by taking resources, they have been there for quit a long time .
Thanks

Hi again
I have checked sm12 , no locks
theres is no mapping involved in this step , the IP is trying to send a file to server.
I just want to know if 100 unfinished IP slow down the system .
It does not matter if the file has been sent or not
is there any way to check those IP if they are taking resources.
Thanks.

Question about the logic board and video

Hi, i own a macbook pro 17 in. @ 2.4 ghz, and have the nvida 8600 gt card. I'm pretty sure that the card has failed since no video has shown up during start up 2 weeks ago (i asked a friend of mine, and he had the same problem with a macbook pro 15 in., he was pretty positive on a card failure). I brought it to the local genius bar, and they fixed some firmware or whatnot, and it worked fine for a week. A week later, the same problem of no video showed up during start up.
My question is if this is a video card issue, is it possible that the logic board could have been damaged from the faulty video card? The tech. told me that it might be the board, and im afraid of paying the hefty repair fee, although i personally feel that the card is all to blame.

Here is the article on the NVIDIA 8600 chip:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Note that Apple will do the repair free of charge if the chip fails within the first two years of ownership. The repair will be to replace the logic board, as Apple does not work on boards at the component level. Your machine should be new enough to qualify for the free repair.
Good luck!

A question about the SPOOL command in sqlplus

Dear all,
I have a question about the SPOOL Command and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. Consider the following sql script.
SPOOL result.txt
SELECT * FROM mytable;
SPOOL OFF;This works pretty well, and the whole content of the table "mytable" is exported to the text file "result.txt". However, sqlplus prints also the number of lines
printed after each query. As a result, after running this script, at the end of the file, I have always a line like
"20541 lines returned"How can I avoid this line (the number of returned lines) in my result file?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

SUP - 2 questions about the CDB (cache database)

Hi,
I have 2 questions about the cache database and the cache groups:
1 - How does the "On demand" cache group policy exactly works? I know that online cache group is without storing any data on the CDB making direct requests to de backend from the device, the DCN is based on updating from the backend, the scheduled is based on a time period, but I don't understand how the "on demand" exactly works, and why it has a time period too.
2 - Is it possible to query the cache database table to check the data that SUP has stored? How can I do this?
Thank you!

I posted a similar question in SUP Apps project not too long ago and Paul Horan provided this useful reply:
Create a "Sybase ASA v12.x for Unwired Server" connection profile in the Enterprise Explorer. I named mine CDB.
: Host = localhost (or whatever the machine name is)
: Port = 5200
: Database name = "default"
: User Name = "dba"
: Password = "sql"
Obviously, change the userid/password to match, if you changed them during install time.
Connect, and you'll see the "default" database displayed.
Navigate down through the Tables folder, and the first subfolder is labeled something like [#should_delete_sk ...] Start there.
You'll see a bunch of tables with the naming convention "D1" + package name + package version + MBO name. These are the cache tables for the MBOs.

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section. There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
"""Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
It's better than nothing, but only just."""

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

Question about the notification center (Mails and Reminders)

Hello together,
I just started using Mountain Lion and now I have some few questions about the notification center.
1. Is it possible to show all reminds in the notification center? I have a lot of reminds without an date / time and they don't appear in the notification center.
2. Is it possible to show the last five Mails in the notification center? I'm just seeing new incoming mails, but I would prefer it, if I could see the last five mails
     (no matter if readed or unreaded).
Thank you very much for you help.

Only reminders with dates appear in the notification center - undated ones don't. Once an email has been read, it is removed from the notification center. Apple has a feedback center where you can offer suggestions.
