Any positive experiences with iOS 8 on iPad 2?

Two related questions:
1. I'm trying to decide whether or not to install iOS 8 on my iPad 2. I've read quite a few posts explaining negative experiences. But has anyone had a positive experience? No challenges with the upgrade? Few to no problems with apps?
2. I am on my third iPad 2 due to hardware issues. My most-recent iPad 2 is only one month old. Will this make any difference whatsoever as to how it will respond to the upgrade? Or is it just a case of the iPad 2 being out of date hardware-wise? Not up to the task?

I still haven't upgraded from 7.0. However, last night I must not have been thinking properly, and I upgraded my Mac to Yosemite. I'm worried that my iPad and Mac will stop talking. So far, so good, but how long will they continue to support iCloud? (I didn't switch to iCloud Drive because iPad still on 7.0.)
With the 8.1 upgrade, did you note any improvements? Any problems?

Positive experiences with command validate

I killed a load process on Unix and got the error A write to file [data/essbase/app/PPU_FK/Ppu_Fk/ess00001.pag], from address [0x403bf4a8] with handle [19] to offset [1130184704] for [16384] bytes, failed with error [1130614] and system error [nnnnnnnnn] after [27] bytes.I tried to save something and issued the command validate in ESSCMD.Did you make any positive experiences with it? Does repair anything? Does it take long?Regards, Alexandru Draghici

The VALIDATE command does not repair any damage or corruption that may have happened in your database - it is a way to perform an integrity check as part of your load/build process.The length of time it takes will depend on the size of your database.Regards,Jade-------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

With ios 8.3 ipad mini apps sometimes do not respond when touched

a new problem occurred with ios 8.3 ipad mini applications sometimes do not respond when touched Fix it in ios 8.4

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Anyone with experience with iOS 5.0.1 on 3GS

Anyone with experience with iOS 5.0.1 on 3GS?

When I updated my 3Gs OS to iOS5.0.1, things were running noticeably slower than usual. But that's not the bad thing. A few days later, my phone was shutting down randomly for no apparent reason, and rebooting. All these talks about battery draining faster and programs hanging were not common to me, or maybe I just didn't mind at all and paid no attention. So I took my phone to a shop, and that's where I learned of the problem, and the very simple solution of reverting back to the previous iOS. Now it works just fine, as if brand new, though I'm using iOS4.x which is what I'll stick with for the time being until Apple gets it's act together and fix the real problem.

Crystatlview rouer/repeater--anyone had positive experience with Ipad as repeater?

Have been trying to set up Itek R/R which, from watching a Utube video seems to be the same device as the Crystalview R/R. So far, have not been able to achieve sucess with either Mac or Ipad 1. Goal is to improve WiFi reception when poor in hotels, etc. Because of multiple reports that Ipad has less strong WiFI than Iphone/Mac, etc, had hoped this would work, although realize that repeater is usually set up near fringe of router zone for connection out of that zone. Have ATT Uverse, which is b/g, and have no problems with Ipad or Mac at home. Do note that, while Mac lists about 6 other neighborhood routers to choose from, Ipad lists only my own (?)--which, strangely has a lower score when measured on the Mac than the others?? Can get to the point when the setup indicates the device is configured, but when I accept that, it simply circles back. The device is recognized on both Mac and Ipad with strong reception indicated. Has anyone used this successfully with Ipad?

I still haven't upgraded from 7.0. However, last night I must not have been thinking properly, and I upgraded my Mac to Yosemite. I'm worried that my iPad and Mac will stop talking.

My positive experience with FCPX.

In an effort to present the other side of the coin on this forum, that FCPX can work very well, here is my story.
For the last 8 years I've been using Final Cut Express on an older Macs. It worked fine for my various projects, although the incessant rendering would be very frustrating. (I never did find the proper format to prevent it.) When Final Cut Pro X was released, I read about it's shortcomings, so I passed.
Five months ago I was planning to video my nephew's wedding so I looked closely at Final Cut Pro X, but was very daunted by how completely different it was from FCE. A few days later I was in my local Apple Store asking their video expert about the rendering in FCE, basically he said to get FCPX, which not only handles many formats, but renders in the background when needed, and has a lot more features than FCE.
I went home and looked at my first FCPX tutorial online and thought, OK, it looks like I'm going to have to start from scratch to learn it. My MacBook Pro was going on 6 years old, so I also decided to buy a new one that could handle FCPX. I had to stay on Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8 for one vitally important application that was not being upgraded, so I went to the Apple refurb site and found a 17" 2.2Ghz i7 late 2011 that fit the bill (I wanted the ExpressCard slot), marked down from $2600 to $1900, I grabbed it.
I immediately installed 16 GB of RAM, and replaced the internal drive with the one in my old laptop, a fairly new Seagate XT Hybrid 750 GB/16 GB HD/SSD. I then bought FCPX. (After completing one small project, I actually replaced the 750 hybrid with an OWC 960 GB dual platter RAID 0 internal SSD, wow, is it fast. I work my current project there, then when complete, move it to the 750 hybrid or a 3 TB I put in a Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt adapter .)
I have to admit that it took me a couple of days to let go of FCE and get used to the FCPX Events/Projects system, but I got through it. I did look at tutorials, but actually learned far more by exploring the menus, panes and icons, experimenting, trial and error, and reading this forum.
I finished the wedding video (32 minutes long) in about a week (learning as I went). It was shot with one camera, which forced me to do some creative editing by lifting, moving and zooming various pieces (and cutting around a very oblivious professional photographer), which gave me a multi-camera look. I added a title, transitions, adjusted dark scenes, leveled the audio in many places, diminished airplane and wind noise, and dropped in a sound effect of my nephew breaking a glass under foot (which did not actually break at the time).
I shared the wedding video to my AppleTV2, and to DVD (3 copies), and to YouTube, without any overt problems. Yes, each operation had it's learning curve, but I accomplished them all in a rather short time. The first time I uploaded it to YouTube, it took about 8 hours for a 1080 2.8 GB version, but when it was done, the YouTube site had a message that it was too long, I had to register to have longer than 15 minute videos. I then used FCPX to upload a 720 version (the actual original format), 985MB, which took about 2 hours (even with a 1 mbps upload internet service). It looks great via the YouTube app on my AppleTV2.
The only overt problem I have is a crash once in awhile either at launch or very shortly after, but I delete the prefs and continue on. I also installed some free plugins that seemed to cause some crashing, so I removed them, but the next time I opened the wedding project, I had all kinds of warning triangles. Turned out I used some of the plugins and FCPX warned that they were missing. It took a few minutes of searching this forum to learn how to get rid of those effects, I didn't even have to ask anyone.
I just bought two new 1080p AVCHD video cameras and really look forward to using them for a festival on Sunday where I'm playing with a ukulele orchestra (which I also took up a few months ago). I'm going to tackle the multicam operations with that project (something I did in my own way with FCE, even though it did not actually have that function).
My view of many of the posts on this forum is that either they have a system/hardware problem outside of FCPX, or they do not make enough of an effort to learn and understand FCPX. It takes diligence and patience, which in my experience, really does pay off. I used to dread doing tweaks in FCE, now I look forward to it in FCPX.

I'd just like to add my positive-ness with FCPX! I've used it from 10.0.1 and, since 0.3, I have loved it and raved about it when anyone asks. The multicam feature is amazing! I used to use Vegas MS for some casual editing and the biggest annoyance with FCPX at the start was the magnetic timeline but after a day or so I got used to it and now can't imagine using anything else. I've had the odd crash but they are few and far between. I won't say I haven't sworn at it a few times but the fault is usually mine in the end!
I use an upgraded 2012 MacBook Pro with 16GB memory and a Seagate Hybrid XT disc for my more "beefy" projects but I've found my 2011 MacBook Air works great with smaller projects (4GB RAM and 256GB SSD). Interesting article on fcp.co about MBAs and FCPX if anyone is considering purchasing one.
I tend to learn things as I go along; I know what I want to achieve and then work out how to get there, often with the help of the nice people in this forum . With FCPX, once you understand the basic structure it's not too difficult.
It seems one of the common themes is problems with importing AVCHD / MTS files. Since 0.3 I've never had any problems as long as I follow my basic rules -
Format the SD card in the camera just before use (use "low level" if offered for the first format) and shoot your footage. Use the same quality format on that card throughout the shoot.
Remove the card and plug it into the computer's card reader. Do NOT interfere with or modify the files in Finder in any way!
In FCPX create an archive from the card on a separate external disc. (If the card doesn't show up then try another card reader - there can be differences in USB chipset implementations).
Import to the events from the archive. Once done, repeat from 1.

Major Mail Crash with iOS 6 and iPad 2... now a blank Mail screen

I just had a major Mail app crash with iOS 6 on my iPad 2.
I was composing an email with pictures in it and when I got to the point of pasting the forth picture into the email, the Apple Mail app started to get very sluggish and crashed. Now, every time I open the Mail app, the screen is white (i.e. - without any text on it) and then Mail crashes after about 10-15 seconds. (BTW - It seemed like the sluggishness got worse as I pasted the last two pictures in.... and the pictures were large sized (at about 750kB each).... so they weren't overly big in size.)
Closing the app, shutting down my iPad 2 and hard resetting my iPad (by holding down both the Home and Power buttons) have no effect on the problem.
This is a very bad situation since I'm traveling for business and was using the iPad for keeping up with email. Now, I get nothing put a blank screen whenever I try to open the mail app.
Does anyone know of a way to get the Mail app back?
Thanks.

Can't see shared printer with IOS 6 on ipad 3rd generation

I just upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to iOS 6.0 and now it won’t see the shared printers at my office. The printers are shared on a Mac mini server running OS X Server Lion 10.7.4. I can still see the shared printers and can print to them from a 3rd generation ipad with iOS 5.1.1.
Does anyone know what apple changed with iOS 6.0 that makes it where the shared printers aren’t showing up and what I might need to do to get them back working on my ipad with iOS 6.0?
Thanks -

iOS printing to a non-AirPrint printer is not supported. There's more information here: AirPrint 101
If you had iOS printing working through yout OS X Server then you must have had another piece of software running in the server emulating AirPrint. That software isn't compatible with iOS 6.

Any practical experience with composite partitioning range/list?

Hi,
I'm working on Oracle 9.2.0.4 and I plan to migrate several large range partitioned tables into range/list partitioned tables. I was wondering I anybody has some practical experience with this new feature (range/list composite partitioning) and if he encountered any bugs or "undocumented features" ?
Thanks for any feedback
Maurcie
PS: I'm not looking for any documentation about how to do it, I'm just wondering if anyone has some experience in a PRODUCTIVE environment.

You can also put the query in a parameter file so you don't have to worry about escaping characters.

No picture albums and music sync with iOS 5 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4

Sie tdem Umstieg auf iOS 5 lassen sich auf dem iPhone 4 gar keine Bilderalben vom Mac synchorinsieren, auf dem iPad 2 hat es einmal mit einem Teil funktioniert, nur sind die Bilder auch noch quer durch verschiedene Alben bunt gemischt. iPod Photo Cache gelöscht, alles ausprobiert, was man so im Internet findet und aus Erfahrung auch noch helfen könnte. Leider hat nichts geholfen.
no picture albums sync, no music sync with iMac with iOS 5. neither via usb nor wifi. tried all tricks on iPad and iPhone. bother!

Hello Suzanil3726,
It sounds like you would like to open another tab in Safari without closing the ones you already have open. The + symbol you are looking for to open another tab is in the upper right hand corner in Safari on the iPad using iOS 7.

Positive experiences with Zen Mi

Is there anyone out there that has had a smooth experience getting and using a Zen Micro? I would really like to purchase this player but I'm hesitant considering all of the problems I've read about.

Hi, me too I have an overall positi've experience with my player.
As mentioned in a similar thread some week(s) ago, you have to realise that for most people, there are 2 reasons to come to (or search for) a product forum like this
(a) pre-sales information
(b) post-sales in case there is an error (or something they don't understand)
Which means that a lot of people here who have the player, are here because they encountered problems. Other people who have the player, are enjoying themselves elsewhere :-)
I came here because I thought my battery life was not as advertised (and a few other little issues, but then I'm a perfectionist and I like to master my toys). I got quite some good information out of the forum. On the whole, I'm very happy with my player, sound quality, disk space, UI speed and logic, other features.
My battery life is about 6~7 hours real play (including on/off's, volume changes, album changes, ...) and 0hrs 20 minutes non-stop play ("play all tracks", no volume changes, supplied headphone, all 96k WMA)
Some things that may have influenced my experience
I never used the USB cable that was supplied, cause I have the same cable for my digital camera lying around the computer. [some ppl commented the cable was a problem]</LI>
It's also the only USB device plugged in [some ppl commented that too many USB devices was problem]</LI>
I followed instructions on installing the software [some ppl just don't read the manual or on-screen info]</LI>
my pc is a recent desktop ( year) [maybe some older pc's, or laptops, give more random problems. No pc is identical, almost]</LI>
I'm generally quite informed and careful on using computer and other gadgets. [I don't try to remove the battery while playing songs and downloading firmware all at the same time... or sth like that]</LI>
- greets, Fred

Any recommendations/experience with anti-virus software?

Mac OS X is a smaller market, and, so far, and for whatever reason, a smaller target. Consequently, although major A/V vendors do usually have a Mac division, it seems to me that they employ for it the B-team. As a result, some Mac A/V tools create more problems than they solve.
Furthermore, as WZZZ rightly points out, all A/V tools (irrespective of platfom) fight yesterday's problem. They can only protect you against the threats they've already seen and analysed.
So, the question is: Do you need an A/V tool?
The people who say, "No, because there are no Mac viruses" are technically right, but in a very narrow sense. There are no Mac viruses—but there is Mac malware. MacDefender and iWork Services are examples; the recent Flashback infection—there've been threads dealing with it in this very forum for the past month—is another. So it really depends on what you do. The iWork Services Trojan Horse spread through a hacked download of Apple's iWork suite, distributed primarily through P2P file sharing. If you do that kind of stuff, you are at risk. Flashback spread through a Java vulnerability. If you browse the net with Java enabled, you are at risk.
Then there's the issue of exchanging files with Windows. If you work in a mixed Win/Mac environment, or exchange documents with others who use Windows, you may be the unwitting vector of infection, by transmitting Windows malware from one PC-using correspondent to another. The Win malware would not affect you in any way—but it would certainly affect them.
Therefore, the answer depends primarily on you.
