Any need for inactive memory with latest SSD drives?

I have an iMac with a combo drive with 24 gb of RAM. At times my inactive memory exceeds 10 gb and my available memory goes to zero. And Mavericks is slow to give the memory back. Given the efficiency and speed of the latest SSD drives, does earmaking memory to an inactive state serve any useful purpose when using a SSD drive?.

I believe there is, as RAM speed is still much better than SSD speed. Most inactive RAM queries stem from the fact that "inactive RAM" is a misnomer. For a pretty full explanation, have a look at my second-last reply at the bottom of page 3 of this discussion:

Hope it helps

Any way to setup mirroring with the SSD drive? Config Xserve advice?

I recommended to a client that if possible to mirror the OS drive they are looking to configure. Originally I told them 3x1TB drives, 2 mirrored and one standalone. The mirrored drives would hold the OS and the standalone would hold the user folders (students in a highschool). I didn't realize that the Xserve now had an SSD option. Wondering if mirroring can be setup at all between the SSD drive and one of the internal SATA drives? I know if it was mirrored the drove size would be the size of the smaller drive. This would then allow us to mirror the student folder drive.
Otherwise is it even needed to mirror the SSD drive since it has no moving parts?
Thanks so much!
Tom

You really don't want to mirror the SSD drive with a spinning disk.
Because of the radical difference in profiles, disk performance will suffer drastically, especially with writes, where the spinning disk would stall waiting for the flash disk.
As for whether it's needed, there are multiple reasons to implement RAID, some of which may apply here and others not.
RAID 0 is typically implemented for performance, but it doesn't make sense to RAID such disparate drives since performance would decrease, so that's out.
RAID 1 is typically used for redundancy, so you can keep running if a disk fails. Since there's no spinning media, the chance of disk failure is significantly lower in SSD, but that's not to say itcan't fail. In general, though reliability of SSD seems to match that of RAID 1 arrays, diminishing the benefit of RAID 1 with SSD.

Any need for malware software with 10.9.2? Recent fraudulent withdrawals from an account managed on an i-Mac. Bank suspects malware introduced by the computer. Is this a possibility? Using latest version of Mavericks.

I have had a recent fraudulent set of withdrawals from a an account which is managed online via an iMac, using Mavericks 10.9.2. Bank believes that malware on the iMac may be the source. Is this a possibility? Apple experts say it is highly unlikely.

Unless the bank can PROVE that the unauthorized withdrawals were initiated FROM that Mac... They're blowing smoke up your backside.

Do I need to repair permissions with a SSD?

Do I need to repair permissions with a SSD?

Repairing permissions is only potentially helpful once for each problem with your computer you may experience. As it's a software-only function, it doesn't matter that the computer has an SSD instead of a hard drive.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Any app , for video chat with AIM users???

please recommend any app for video chat with AIM user???

Hi
The latest version of AIM (called Triton) doesn't work with iChat. Have you tried version 5.9 of the AIM application on the PC?
If that doesn't work for you, you could try Trillian, which has a better picture than AIM (The AIM video window is very small and not resizeable). The Trillian Pro version, required for video, costs $25 but you can try it free for 14 days.

You need to purchase a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM. Run Software Update twice afterwards.
If you're already running Mac OS X 10.6, run Software Update until it gives you the option of installing iTunes 11.

Is there any need for a 1536 x 2048 folio anymore? Do they even work with DPS v32?

So I just received a gig from a client to design their new magazine issue using their provided back issue indd DPS files (CS6), along with their new content from the latest print edition that will fill these articles. However, the previous DPS documents were built using 1536 x 2048 pixel (vertical orientation) pages. Is there even a use for this folio size anymore? And would it even work with Apple and Google Play and the latest folio buider?
I recall in 2012, I had to build two renditions during the iPad1 to retina transition, so it could be read on both devices. But I thought Adobe soon abandoned the need for two renditions and went with just the 1024 pixels. I've only worked with 1024 since with all my other clients. Is this correct thinking? Do I need to convert these files to 1024? I'm guessing so, but I don't want to just guess.
The other thing I wonder is if Apple had approved their back issue on 2048 pixels, would it mean a re-submission the new folio using 1024 px height? We have to update the App to iOS 8 anyway, so I just need to be sure I'm working with the folio size.
Can I assume the v32.2 folio builder is solid enough to run with at this time? Hoping one folio will work with both storefronts (google play and Apple) without any glitches/scaling issues.
Cheers,
Brian

I think I'll advise my client to convert their current 2048 pixel folio to 1024 pixel height. Then have that 1024 build approved by Apple. Then push my new issue content into the approved App shell. The only time I needed a 2048 rendition is when the new retina iPads came out (mid-2012), and we wanted to take full advantage of the resolution. We also used a 1024 rendition for the iPad1s.
I suspect their 2048 folio is what is making their App in Content Viewer crash. Also, they didn't have a V or H in the filenames, which is what I was trained to do with naming each of my articles, so perhaps that's what's making it crash? I was surprised it would even upload/recognize an article without the V or H in the filename.
Does this sound like possible solution to fix the crashing? The other thing I noticed is that they didn't package their files with fonts and links for each article like I would (They had 20 indd article docs in one issue folder, then all images for all articles were in one links folder (named images, not links. Another suspect. Does Adobe prefer "Links" for the assets?).
If I could solve their crashing problem, I'd be their rock star.

IPad 2 suddenly showing "no service" but seems to be working fine otherwise. Any need for concern? Hard close didn't help. Changing locations with different wi if servers didn't help.

It is not picking up the wifi - though it says it is connected . All other devices are connecting fine to the same network

Neo2 - Any fix for 'lost' memory?

On this board, I've read that it is normal for the BIOS to only see part of the memory if you have a lot installed. I've got 4x1GB installed, the BIOS reports a large number beginning with '3'; Windows System Properties says 3.25GB which works out pretty close in bytes to that reported by the BIOS. Is there any fix for this, since I'd like capable applications e.g. After Effects, running under XP x64 to have the option to access all the physical ram installed?

I would guess the history was lost when you consolidated your catalogs near the beginning of the process. Can you remember what steps you followed to consolidate the catalogs? There is no history if you have importing from image-embedded or sidecar metadata as that only contains the current state of the images, not all the steps followed to get there.
Most of the rest of what you talk about is a complicated discussion of why you don’t have any backups, which is interesting, but not relevant to the missing history, I don’t think.

Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1? I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response. These problems have been occurring since the last update. At times the iPad becomes unusable. I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi, dannilee,
I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
Hope it is useful for you.

Any sample for using Captcha with Oracle ADF ?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
is there any sample available for using captcha with adf faces ?
thanks

Hi,
nott hat I am aware of. However, I started a project to build a custom JSF component using
http://jcaptcha.sourceforge.net/
Not sure when I have this finished, but the goal is to have this working with ADF Faces (not sure if it makes sense to bind the component to ADF though)
