Agonized all day and missed the sale: Can anyone explain SSD Reliability?

I cannot believe it. I thought I was going to buy a new MacBook Pro today, but I could not make the decision between a 500 GB, 7,200 RPM HDD and a 512 GB SSD.
Price - Doesn't matter
Performance - Could care less
Durability - Eh?
The one thing that I could never get a positive read on was: Are SSD drives more reliable than HDDs?
Apple's explanation on the difference between HDD and SSD on the store site is an embarrassment.
Which drive will stand the test of time better?
All I care about is my information and files (And, yes I have many backups) BUT I want the best, most reliable for my main computer.
Anyone with some solid information will get a BIG FAT thank you and a shiny star!

The one thing that I could never get a positive read on was: Are SSD drives more reliable than HDDs?
In theory yes however they are too new to say.
Which drive will stand the test of time better?
See my answer to first question, you are asking for answers to questions that haven't stood the test of time.
All I care about is my information and files (And, yes I have many backups) BUT I want the best, most reliable for my main computer.
SSD won't get you anything then, if you want the most reliable than make redundant backups so you don't lose data. Using Time Machine and a Bootable Clone is easiest way to go.

My LR2 is missing the templates can anyone help?

I am in LR2, print mode/contact sheet/grid. I have 36 photo's I am attempting to template in a 4x5 contact sheet.
However my templates are empty and I am so new to the program I do not know what to do. This assignment is due today and I have ran out of options on what to do or where to go.
When I click on the contact sheet/grid it is only showing me one of the 36 photos I have and according to the school tutorial it is suppose to show me all the pictures.
Can anyone help???? I am so very lost and frustrated.

It was until my son came home and said, "Mom you have to do it like this......" I feel like such an idiot. I do thank you for asking.
My other issue is that every time I attempt to move the pictures from my memory card in RAW format into LR2, it tells me the files or corrupt. However I can use my other conversion program and they will convert. The only issue with this is it makes my teacher mad that I am not doing it through LR2. I do not know why it is telling me the RAW files are corrupt and the other program will open them.
This has been my luck with this program, and yes I am new to using it.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you!!Tammy

Just so I'm clear, you're saying that the 2nd panel from the top on the left side of the screen called "Template Browser" is empty?

I do not understand the documentation, can anyone explain?

I am trying to create workbooks for an EUL version 5 in a database version 7.1.3.
According to the documentation on http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A90881_02/rdb_supp.htm#1007051 Discoverer Administrator and Desktop 9.0.2 are supported against a 7.1 database but when I try to connect using the Desktop I get a ora-00922 error.
Metalink only has one entry from 2001, which does not offer a solution, only a suggestion to create a TAR.
When I read the sections on features that are not supported, I see that Discoverer EUL5 workbooks are not supported in oracle RDBs but I don't understand what that means. I would expect these features to be unsupported in NON-oracle databases, instead of oracle databases.
Who can either provide a solution for the 00922 message or explain to me what the documentation means?
Thanks in advance.

ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
Cause: An invalid option was specified in defining a column or storage clause. The valid option in specifying a column is NOT NULL to specify that the column cannot contain any NULL values. Only constraints may follow the datatype. Specifying a maximum length on a DATE or LONG datatype also causes this error.
Action: Correct the syntax. Remove the erroneous option or length specification from the column or storage specification

Can anyone explain me the significance of replacement path?

hi all,
Can anyone explain me replacement path
- with text variables
- with characteristics and
- with formulas.
Can anyone explain me with an example for each of those replacement path.
And i heard abt replacement path for characteristics can be done using query too. so pls do explain abt that too.
thanxs in advance

hari

Hi hari,
Using Replacement Path in your Text and Formula variables, replace values held in a characteristic. The Characteristic value variables are replaced by the results of a query at run-time.
check this link , a good example with screen shots are given to calculate the difference of DATE characterictics..

Ok can anyone explain how to create this algorithm?

Thanks very much to Jos for helping me with my previous question, but unfortunatly I now have dif algorithm that I again cannot figure out. Here is the question:
What is the algorithm for the following?
I have three locations _,_,_
The first can have 0-2,
The second can have 0-4,
The third can have 0-3
I need to be able to generate the following list:
000

..and so on.
Can anyone explain how this can be done?

Works for any length and any digit size from 0 to 9
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List combinations = generateNumbers(new int[]{2, 4, 3});
        System.out.println(combinations);
    public static List generateNumbers(int[] limits) {
        int combinations = 1;
        for (int j = 0; j < limits.length; j++)
            combinations *= limits[j] + 1;
        List list = new ArrayList();
        for (int j = 0; j < combinations; j++) {
            String s = "";
            int n = j;
            for (int k = limits.length - 1; k >= 0; k--) {
                int digit = n % limits[k];
                n /= limits[k];
                s = digit + s;
            list.add(s);
        return list;

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

The iPhoto App can select all of the photos in the All Imported folder and delete them.

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling? I need to see all of my all day events at once. I use this for scheduling and comparing of # invoices. Going back and forth to scroll is cumbersome. I just want to be able to expand the top section so I can see everything at once.

Any ideas, anyone?

HT1414 I am restoring a new iPad, using iCloud, with all my old iPads info, it is taking forever, all day and I'm still only an 8th of the way there. Is there any way to speed up all the game down loads or is there a way to re-organize my game icons manu

I am restoring a new iPad, iCloud, with my old iPads info, it has been downloading all day and it's only 2pages in on my game apps out of about 10 pages. Is there a way to speed this process, or is there a way to move my icons so that the games I want are at the beginning of the line as opposed to at the end because their name is alphabetically last

There is no way that I know of to speed up the download. Restoring from an iCloud backup will take as long as it takes in order to download all of your iPads contents. You commited to iCloud and now you have to wait until everything finishes downloading.
This relies on your WiFi connection speed, so unless you can speed that up, you just have to wait.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

TS4268 I am on friends account and somehow when set up an iPad our messaging became intertwined. If I message someone else he gets it as well and if he messages himself I get it to? Worked on this all day and we can't figure it out . Any ideas?

I am part of a friends AT&T package for iPhone. 4s and we started having a problem when a message I sent to another friend ended up on his iPad and this other friend messages me and the person whose phone package I am on also got this message. The friend whose phone I am linked to has sent messages to himself that have come to me. Seems like something is mixed up here and it is out of the blue because I have been on his phone plan for years without any mix ups? Any idea as we worked on this all day and can't get it fixed?

I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.
