Any way to avoid the dreaded activation fee?

"Activation fee" my little finger. This charge always annoys me. I know it will be waived for businesses; any way to avoid it for individual plans?

Ask at an AT&T store. My guess is that they won't waive it, though.

Any way to avoid the hit on the TEMP tablespace?

I'm running a CTAS query that unions 13 tables with about 7,000,000 rows each, inner joins that union again against a global temporary table with 13 rows, and then doing a GROUP BY against the result, summing about 6 fields. The resulting query runs in about 2 hours with about a 16 Gig hit on the TEMP tablespace.
In production I will need to join 52 tables with about that many rows against a GTT with 52 rows. I haven't experimented with it yet but I'm guessing the time and memory increase will be linear (i.e. 8 hours, 64 Gig hit).
I'm being asked if there's any way to avoid the hit on the TEMP tablespace. It was suggested that I look into using a materialized view, but won't that just transfer the hit from the harddrive to the RAM? I don't think this particular database has 64 Gigs of RAM dedicated to it, and I'm sure the row counts will grow in the future anyway.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Joe

I don't have visibility to the TEMP tablespace on their database so I don't know if the hit there is any less.
If you have privileges you can use SQL*PLUS autotrace (or possibly Oracle trace, if you're really that interested) to get run-time statistics on a query as you run it. Waiting for the 2-hour results will be a bit tedious though. If you don't have privileges for autotrace it won'r work; the error messages explain what's wrong rather well ;)

Any way to avoid adjusting the ring volume?

Any way to avoid adjusting the ring volume? Don't know how but after using the phone for a day or two, the ring volume is adjusted. Is it because I adjust the volume of iPod or other apps. Is there a way to fix the ring volume at a constant level and won't be changed until actually changing the ring volume setting itself?
Anyone?
Thanks
Gaston

The ring volume is seperate from the iPod or 3rd party apps volume. You can have these at seperate levels. As a test, I made sure the ringer volume is at 100%. I started playing a song and lowered the iPod volume to 50%. I stopped the song and checked the ringer volume which remained at 100%.
There is no lock setting for this. If you adjust the volume when not using the iPod or when not playing a 3rd party app, it will adjust the ringer volume.

HT1766 When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really quickly. Is there any way of avoiding this ? Thanks

When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really really quickly. Is there any way of avoiding this. I want to backup my iphone but don't want to be recharging all day. Many thanks

Are you sure the iCloud backup is causing this? Unless you initiate an iCloud backup manually, it will only back up once per day when the phone is connected to your charger and wi-fi and has the screen locked. It shouldn't otherwise be consuming any power.

Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed ?

Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed or not ?
Any methods ???
How can the program knows the connection is lost or some thing ...
Is the socket throws some excpetions when there is no active connection ???
namanc

If you get an IOException when you try to use the socket, the connection was obviously closed.
The correct way for an application to know if the socket was closed is:
1) the server sends a message indicating that the socket should be closed
2) the client closes the socket itself

HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device. I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages. Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup. If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host.

I'm having trouble with a sync alert. It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications). I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone. Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar. Looks like it will only do all of them at once. I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
Thanks

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

Any way to know the last location of a erased device?

Hi, pals.
I want to know if it is possible to know the location where a device started being erased. I'll briefly tell you the circumstances:
-. Last May, 20th, in the morning —the approximated time is important— my iPod Touch (5th gen.) disappeared. Not sure if it was stolen or accidentaly sent to the trash (the physical trashcan, you know).
-. I can not tell it for sure, but I think on the morning or noon of May, 21st, I commanded iCloud to erase the device, because by that time I was almost completely sure I wouldn't get it back. Until that moment, I tried to track it several times on the same web with no results.
-. I have received a message from iCloud this afternoon (June, 10th). I will translate it from Spanish, for I don't know what the exact message in English is, but I guess you'll get the main idea:
Elias' iPod Touch started being erased at 22:20, May, 20th, 2013. Every multimedia file, data and settings will be permanently deleted.
If you recover your iPod Touch, it is possible that some services will not start inmediately after its restoration.
I received the email from iCloud some 2 hours ago. If I log on iCloud right now and select the location of my iPod on Find my iPhone, it says: 'Content erased 2 hours ago'.
It also says: 'The location of this iPod Touch will not be updated because its content has been deleted'.
Here are my main questions:
1.- What is the right time of the erasing? May, 20th —as the email says— or 2 hours ago, on June, 10th —as iCloud states—?
2.- I am pretty sure I did not command the iPod to be erased as soon as May, 20th. Would iCloud tell me if the device has been erased, even if the process started before I set it?
3.- In case the answer to question #2 is affirmative, and it was actually erased on May 20th, why does iCloud send me that message today? Aren't the settings on the device supposed to have been deleted 20 days ago? Isn't the iPod supposed not to be linked to my iTunes account anymore? I guess that if it was erased 20 days ago, and if my iTunes account isn't active on it, it wouldn't know it's mine even if it was connected to the Internet today.
4.- And the question: Is there any way to know the location where the iPod started being erased? This last one is important for it would help me know if the iPod was stolen or accidentally dumped.
I will thank your replies. Cheers,
Elías.

Only if you had previously installed an app that would periodically email you its location. Not that the iPod has to br on and connected to the internet.

How to verify yum configuration in OEL . is there any way to rollback the package

Any way to update the library automatically?

As amazing as it sounds, I only recently tried Itunes for Windows after using Windows Media Player for years.
Is there any way to have the library update automatically when I download music files to my music folder the way WMP does, without having to import them?

The lack of a watch folder is probably to avoid people setting the download folder of thier PvP program as watched. Anything you purchase from the iTunes music store will go directly into iTunes, anything you rip from CDs using iTunes will also go their automatically. Almost all other purchased music is protected WMA which won't even play in iTunes. So the only songs that won't go directly are the fairly uncommon legal mp3 downloads, and all the illegal ones. (and I know about all the legal FLAC stuff out there, but that will have to be converted as well, since iTunes doesn't support FLAC).

Any way to avoid duplication of saved pictures?

Hi.
In my windows pc, when i saved a picture during browsing that already existed in my pictures folder, it gave me a prompt for replacement. However, in apple ipad, no such prompt is given and the picture is saved again as a duplicate. Any way to avoid this? I have tons of duplicates now on the ipad consuming unncessary space.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for the answer.
In windows pc, i could re arrange pictures with sort order 'Size'. In that way, duplicates since of exactly same size were lumped together and this easy to delete.
I could try manually deleting in ipad, but the duplicates are not adjacent and the pictures are more than 10,000 in the folder now. Any option to sort as per size?
Thanks for help.

If you had find my iphone activated on the iphone itself before it was stolen, then you may be able to track it.
Otherwise, there is nothing you can do.
Sorry.
Report it to the police and your wireless carrier and change your password.

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start
No
