About to intstall le7 for first time

This install will be on a macbook 2ghz with 1 g ram
I have no other equipment as yet but am about to get a external hard drive (lacie triple extreme 7200 rpm either 3 or 500 g,still undeceided)
Any one out there have any reccomendations to enable a smooth start(or is that too much to ask?)

4 days to wait! I wouldn't be able to wait that long!
Repairing permissions: Go to the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder. Open Disk Utility. Select the main drive and at the bottom of the window, click on Repair Disk Permissions.
Another way of doing it is with Onyx, a freeware utility for maintenance. Once Onyx is open, go to the automation tab and click on Execute. You can download Onyx at www.titanium.free.fr

  • About to buy Lightroom for first time but have questions re. camera and system compatibility.

    Hello there,
    I'm about to take the leap into the world of Lightroom but need advice.
    I have an oldish computer, an Imac G5 which has a powerpc processor, NOT an intel processor.
    My understanding is that because the computer doesn't have an intel processor, I can only run Lightroom2.
    This is potentially a problem, as my camera is a Canon 5d mark ii and from reading online, it seems that Lightroom 2 cannot process RAW files from the 5dmarkii and that I would in fact need Lightroom 2.2?
    I don't know if I can install lightroom2.2 on a non-intel processor computer and I really don't want to have to get a new computer just to be able to use lightroom....PLEASE HELP!
    All advice gratefully received.

    One other relevant point. With LR 2.7 you will be using the old technology "Process version 2003", which you can now consider dated in respect to competitive raw processing software in the market.
    You will also not have the more advanced noise reduction and sharpening technology available in LR 3.x and ACR 6.x in addition to the new technology "Process version 2010".
    The numbers reflect the difference (2003 to 2010).

  • HT201250 i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. do i keep my files in the portable hard disk when I connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will era

    i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
    I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
    If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

    Using iPod shuffle 4th generation for first time and receiving the error : one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    Using win 7 and latest iTunes [10.6.3]. Have already gone through below links and did not find any solution.

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

  • ADF application taking more time for first time and less from second time

    Hi Experts,
    We are using ADF 11.1.1.2.
    Our application contains 5 jsp pages, 10 - 12 taskflows, and 50 jsff pages.
    For the first time in the day if we use the application it is taking more than 60 sec on some actions.
    And from the next time onwords it is taking 5 to 6 sec.
    Same thing is happening daily.
    Can any one tell me why this application is taking more time for first time and less time from second time.
    Regards
    Gayaz

    Hi,
    If you don't restart you WLS every day, then you should read about Tuning Application Module Pools and Connection Pools
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcampool.htm#sm0301
    And pay attention to the parameter: Maximum Available Size, Minimum Available Size
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcampool.htm#sm0314
    And adjust them to suit your needs.

  • Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do?

    Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do? Previously hit "organize", ran for 25 min till hit 100%, then "had to close"?

    Unfortunately, there's not enough info listed to give you an effective answer.
    Can you give more detailed system spec's.  There are a lot of differences in RAM, & Hard Drive Technologies.  Is your 2TB a single hard drive, or multiple drives in RAID?  While a single 2TB drive is nice for the storage capacity, they also sacrifice some performance to reach that capacity... What speed is the RAM, & I'm assuming it's properly opperating in Dual Channel mode (watch your POST screen to be sure).  Which Core i7 CPU are you running, & what Operating System are you running.   Finally, bring up your task manager, & see what processes are using CPU cycles.   Also, are you starting up PrE8 through the default shortcut which uses the Welcome screen?
    A quick guess is that Auto Analyzer & the Welcome screen are behind your troubles, but can't be sure till more info is available.
    There is a current thread about Auto Analyzer, & I've posted a way to bypass the Welcome screen in several threads. 
    See my post in this thread to bypass the Welcome screen http://forums.adobe.com/thread/516524 (2nd post in thread)

  • My refurbished iPad 3 charged for first time it and charger got very hot is that normal

    just replaced my refurbished iPad 3 with another.  Tried to charge it for first time.  Noticed it got very hot and so did charger.  I don't recall my other iPad doing this  is this a defect in the ipad?

    Define "hot".
    If fully drained both the battery (that essentially fills up most of the body of the device) and the charger will get quite warm, though not unbearable. Time to charge will vary according to device: my iPad 4 takes about 6 hours if almost flat, but takes about 40 min if at 75%.
    Be sure to use ONLY its original charger OR chargers that are rated for iPads. They draw twice the current as phones and will cause phone chargers to get much warmer than usual.

    The page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Long time to open workbook for first time

    Hi,
    I have a workbook with three queries . Performance of workbook is good when it was created for first time. It has additional 22 sheets with formulas and other sheets with values based on query sheets.
    The problem starts after I close the existing session and open in another session when it takes 15 to 20 minutes to come up.But after that the book is slow even for single click button action.
    Version of analysis 1.4.6
    Win 7(64 bit)
    Ms office 2010(32 bit)
    Refresh on opening is disabled.
    Few thing which I did:
    >> I opened up task manager and did analyze wait chain, I found that excel.exe is waiting for splwow64.exe process.
    >> I enabled logging at "debugging information" in support setting for workbook and checked things out in log file.
    Found that
    There was warning "AddSerializer failed (Command processors not initialized)
    Looking at log file for events when book took time to open, I found that time stamp gap between  following events"
    -verbose: Working mode as serialized in document:'Local'
    -verbose: Successfully deserialized system info from workbook  XML
    - verbose: ...its logs various properties of queries like query name,id etc"
    and its immediate previous event of cache formula string is 20 mins.
    >> in another session I opened a workbook with normal performance.Found above mentioned warning message and deserialization... information.
    the difference in this case is that there is not delay in events.
    Has anybody faced this issue? Any idea on deserialization of workbook xml in analysis.
    Any idea where is metadata saved in analysis. is it in form of some hidden script object just as in BEx 7.0
    Thanks
    Pramod.

    Hi Pramod,
    Since you have several sheets in this workbook, have you checked the number of custom styles?
    Please check the SAP note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1899658
    According to the note, too many styles slow down Analysis for Office.
    The note also contains a macro that you can run on your workbook to delete the custom styles if you want to check.
    Regards,
    Filipe

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

    please i need help, im worried that if I connect my ipod here, it will burn or sometihng bad.

    Just connect it to a computer's USB port.
    Most wall chargers are dual voltage (110- 220 volts) and only require a plug adopter. Check the wall charger to see if yours is.
