Anyone tried the new ARD Client just released today (2-1-2012)

Has anyone tried installing and running the new ARD Client released today, Feb. 1, 2012? The info provided by Apple about this update seems to be kind of thin in exactly what was changed.3.5.2, It lists only screen sharing and controlling a computer with two displays. If you have installed it what have you found as both improved or degraded. What OS do you have installed on your client systems? Any changes specific to Lion or Snow Leopard?

Today I connected to a remote server running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 and ran the updater for Apple Remote Desktop 3.5.2.
It successfully completed and I was able to re-connect. Unfortunately I can no longer "drag and drop". When I pick up an icon, for example, I cannot release it (drop). My controlling computer is running OS X 10.7.3.
I may try to revert to the earlier version of ARD if possible. This is a pretty big problem for me; so I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with this updater. It may be that a reboot will fix the problem; but I have to wait for a convenient time to reboot my server. I need to also test connecting from a 10.6.8 workstation instead of 10.7.3, as this may be a "Lion controlling Snow Leopard" issue.
Either way, I would be wary of this updater.

I just bought a new iMac in Hong Kong like 3 weeks ago and the new one had just released today. WHAT CAN I DO?

THIS IS VERY UNFAIR FOR ME. I HAD UPGRADED AND PUT EXTRA MONEY ON THAT.
THE REFUND POLICY IS 30DAYS IN USA BUT 14 DAYS IN HK.
WHAT CAN I DO? MY MAC IS JUST 3 WEEKS OLD.

If Hong Kong truly has a 14 day limit on returns, I would recommend that you go into the nearest Apple Store and kindly and politely ask to speak to the Store Manager. Patiently explain your situation to him and ask him if there is any way he can help you out. I have used this approach myself in the past with a related issue and got surprisingly good results from the Manager. (The Managers have extensive freedom to take care of their customers if they truly want to.) Best wishes.
Hope this helps

Has anyone tried the new MS Oracle DataProvider ?

Hi all.
Has anyone tried the Microsoft issued Oracle .Net data provider? I am not fond of switching horses in midstream (have been struggling with ODP for a few weeks). I do not like the ODP for these reasons...
1) Documentation is really non-existant/useless especially where hueristics and 'gotchas' are concerned
2) it is a HUGE install (why I have no idea)
3) some things simply do not work (like my recent rants on trying to return varchar2's from stored procs and functions).
Is the MS any better ?
Thanks

Hi,
1) There is a pdf doc and integrated help which comes with the ODP.NET. There are a few gotchas which could cause some hair-pulling moments. Sometimes it helps to read the same doc several times to really know what to do.
But instead of wasting time reading the doc, the samples cover most of the typical cases. (i think it includes your varchar2 output bind case).
2) The huge install is due to Oracle Client 9. The provider needs several dlls beyond Oracle.DataAccess.dll and OraOps9.dll. There are some other oracle standard dependencies also. MS provider for oracle will have the same issue (I think they need oracle client install also).
There a few post where the `Instant client install` is going to solve that.
But the thin client (like JDBC thin driver for oracle) is still (IMHO) the best solution for the huge install problem.
3) See my reply in the other post. (try the sample also)
Finally, which some other posters have mentioned before: Good luck looking for help for MS's provider when you are stuck.

Anyone tried the new Weblogic Scripting Tool (WLST)?

Has anyone tried using the new WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) that was recently
posted on the dev2dev WebLogic Utilities site: http://dev2dev.bea.com/resourcelibrary/utilitiestools/adminmgmt.jsp
It looks to be a handy tool that is built upon jython and enables you to easily
navigate, inspect and manipulate the WebLogic MBean tree on a running server.
It also has a nice scripting tool which allows you to convert a config.xml file
into a script that can be run to recreate a domain or specific resources within
the domain. This is exactly something I have been looking for because we occasionally
recreate domains or subsets of a domain for testing and POC purposes.
The utility is fairly well documented and works well for the most part. The only
issue I have run into so far is that is does not seem to understand JMS Distributed
Destinations. When I try to convert a config.xml that contains a DD to a script
it throws a null pointer exception. I have not tried a cluster yet.
I noticed the utility was authored by someone at BEA. Is there potential that
BEA will support this in the future if it catches on? Has anyone had experience
with WLST or jython that would cause you to reccomend (or not) using it?
Thanks.

Darryl,
Thanks for the valuable feedback. My comments are inline.

As a fairly long time wlshell user who recently started testing wlst there are
few features I have found lacking in wlst.
1. For monitoring purposes I am frequently using the -g and -r options to wlshell's
get command for graphing and repeating respectivelyI haven't looked at -g and -r options in wlshell, but will do so.
Although there is no graphical monitoring of attributes in wlst, but
there is certainly some monitoring capability (which will be enhanced
further in the coming version). Please take a look at the
monitorAttribute() function.
wls:/(offline)> help('monitorAttribute')
Description:
Monitors the specified attribute every by polling every interval.
Syntax:
monitorAttribute(attributeName, interval, monitorFile)
attributeName = Name of the attribue that you would like to monitor.
interval = Time (in seconds) to wait before the next fetch
monitorFile=[optional] File path where the monitored data will be
written to.
Example:
wls:/mydomain/runtime/ServerRuntimes/myserver/ExecuteQueueRuntimes/weblogic.kernel.Default>
monitorAttribute("ServicedRequestTotalCount",10)
Press Return to quit monitoring
Monitoring started for attribute ServicedRequestTotalCount
wls:/(offline)>
>
2. wlshell 2.0 adds the option when connecting to the admin server to also connect
to all managed servers in that domain. This is a nice feature for monitoring because
you then have access to all the runtime mbeans in each managed serverYes, this indeed seems to be a very nice feature. We will consider this
for our next release.
>
3. There is not a good way to pass cmd line options(variables) to wlst. In wlshell
I can send cmd line options via -v. I have tried something similar with wlst using
-loadProperties but this is a little laborious because I do not necessarily want
to create a properties file when a passing in only one or two variables. Also
I find loadProperties lacking somewhat (see 4 below)ok, I just realised that there is indeed a bug in wlst where the command
line arguments are not being honored. In Jython one can access the
command line arguments from the sys.argv variable. For example,
java weblogic.WLST -i foo.py var1 var2 var3
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...
Welcome to Weblogic Server Administration Scripting Shell
Type help() for help on available commands
wls:/offline> print sys.argv
['foo.py', 'var1', 'var2', 'var3']
wls:/offline>
But this isn't working properly, please keep using the loadProperties
untill this has been fixed.
>
4) loadProperties treats all created variables as strings. While this is understandable
from the perspective that getProperty returns a string, it would be nice if wlst
was smart enough that when a property is numbers only its an int, otherwise a
string etc.
wlshell does this logic/conversion for you which really simplifies calling methods
that expect the particular datatype. To get around this problem you can create a script file say,
variables.py which would look like,
# variables that will be used
theInterpreter.set('var1',10)
theInterpreter.set('var2','i am a string')
java weblogic.WLST variables.py
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...
Welcome to Weblogic Server Administration Scripting Shell
Type help() for help on available commands
wls:/(offline)> print var1
10
wls:/(offline)> print var2
'i am a string'
>
5. I'd like to be able to send cmd output etc to a file while running within wlst.
In wlshell its a simple as adding >> filename to the end of the command. In wlst it is not as simple as doing >>, it is more than that. You can
choose any output stream to direct your output to. In your case you can
create a FileOutputStream and route the output to this stream for any
particular command.
Example,
# create a file output stream say fos
from java.io import FileOutputStream
fos = FileOutputStream("output.txt")
# save the default output stream to a variable to
# switch it back
sys.stdout=fos
# Now all output for any function will go to output.txt
ls()
cd('foo')
# after done with your functions switch it back
sys.stdout=origOutput
This is the right Jython way to do it. This works for all output streams
, very useful when you embed an interpreter in a servlet and would like
to display the output via a PrintStream etc.

All in all wlst is a nice tool. Personally if the above features were added it
would be much easier to transistion to wlst for good.
Also I really like the wlst offline tool. Its nice to be able to do the whole
create and configure domain process with one tool. Will this be supported. Yes indeed. We are working on merging both the tools into one.
I do
not want to rely on it too much if it will not work in future weblogic versions.It will be supported in future release of weblogic.

Hello,
I am the BEA Product Manager behind WLST.
WLST, as it appears today on dev2dev, is an early release version of
a tool that
BEA does intend to support as part of our next major release. We decided
to issue
early versions of the tool because of the demand for a supported scripting
solution,
and to generate feedback from our user community. I encourage you to
work with
WLST, and assure you that this tool represents our current direction
in management
scripting.
Also note, this newsgroup can be used to issue questions, concerns and

Has anyone tried the new OWC 8 GB RAM?

Anyone? They're still a little pricey for me.

I've just received the Quicken version for Lion and it crashed on four of my five files. The 5th file didnot show all the quotes. I searched the web and found that the new version is having problems with the Quote file. I tried the suggestion from Intuit. See following URL.
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/quicken-mac-2007-for-lion-crashes-on-lion /SLN59495.html
With the above you loss all your security quotes and need to repopulate the data file. I suggest that you try the following process on a Snow Leopard system.
To avoid a corrupt Quote file perform the following before moving to Lion. This process will give the Lion version a fresh Quote file.
1. Start Quicken with you data file
2. Open File > Export > Selected Items to QIF...
3. Check only the box for Securities
4. Quick Quicken
5. Hold down the Control key and single-click (or right-click) your data file
6. Select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu
7. Control + click on the Quotes file, select Move to Trash
8. Start Quicken with you data file
9. Open File > Import > From QIF...
10. Quick Quicken
Now all my files run on the Lion version with all the quote values.

Has anyone tried the new retina display MBP with a projector?

I bought a new MacbookPro with retina display online the other day (hasn't arrived yet). I use this primarily for business doing presentations etc. Has anyone tried connecting a projector using the Thunderbolt VGA adapter? Just curious if it'll work.
Thanks

Similar problem. I used my macbook Pro Retina with my Thunderbolt to VGA adapter all through the fall, and never had any trouble with it. Just before Christmas I got a Thunderbolt display.
Since that time, whenever I connect the projector, I get a black screen. I can see and move the mouse, but nothing else. Other computers still work with the projector.
I'm not certain if the Thunderbolt Display has anything to do with this or not, but it's just the timing that it happened.
Grateful for anyone that can offer help!

Anyone tried the new Security Update (12/19/06)? Is it safe?

Has anyone ventured to install this yet? I'm only asking cause I've been burned a couple of times with these 'maladjusting" my machine. Just wondering if anyone has taken the plunge yet?
TIA,
Peter

It's okay for me. The update seems to be for Quartz Composer and Quicktime, so hopefully it won't cause as many problems as before...

Has anyone tried the new Netscape browser 9.0

I am using it now and I do have to say I love Safari but without anymore updates for it and it freezing on some web pages it is looking more like Netscape may be my replacement . Safari is best by far from the others in being smooth and blend so well with the OS . Opera, Camino , Firefox , and iCab all are good but some are just to buggy or hog up the resources or are like just a patch of a browser . Netscape is smooth in scroll , web page rendering and just looks great and is fast . What do you think.

Instead of Netscape, you should try it's almost identical twin, SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey used to be called the Mozilla Internet Suite, from which the recent versions of Netscape are based. The difference is that there is no Netscape branding, and it's updated more frequently. Otherwise, they look and work the same. It even uses the same user files from the same location.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
I've been using the Safari 3 beta. The most recent update is pretty solid. As an alternative I use Camino. There are some web sites that specifically look for FireFox or IE, so I keep FireFox in the mix for that purpose.

I pay a monthy fee for LR and PS...Do I have to wait until my year is up to get the new LR that was released today?

Any insight?

If you open the Cloud desktop app you can view your installed apps. If the update is available (it should be) you'll see an update button/link on the right. Just click on it start the update.

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk. It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place. What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

I have a new iPad and tried to set up as new, then realized i needed to sign in as an existing itunes user. I reset my new ipad as new, but now when I sign in using my existing ipad it backs up to the new one I just set up. I need my itunes account on my new ipad. help

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

Has Anyone Found the New Version of the iPod Radio Remote?

Hi,
Per iLounge, Apple released an updated ipod radio remote that has the most current version of Apple's ipod headphones as opposed to the shortened ones. I've checked on-line, Best Buy, Circuit City Compu World, Micro Center with no luck. I aslo tried the bricks-and-mortar Apple store...they looked at me like I had ten heads. Apparently they have the same sku as the old set.
I posted a question to Apple Support, but no response yet. Has anyone found the new version anywhere?
Thanks

Thanks. I've submitted requests to Apple to find out if or when they will be shipping the new remote, but they have not responded within their promoted 24-hour timeframe. I'll try to order from Apple directly and hope I get the new headphones too!
Thanks

Has Anyone tried this new plug in WooWave Sync Pro?

Hi there
Has anyone tried this new plugin Woowave Sync pro?
They claim to offer better results than you can get with the built in synchronizing engine.
I downloaded the trial but can't figure out how to enable it in fcp.
I got this crappy footage.. hours of it and I really need something to sort it out , hate manual syncing
fcp tries and does some of it, but I got hours left unsynced.

there are four episodes from MacBreak Studio avail for free, which explains MultiCam in FCPX
http://youtu.be/gNOfgBClIvQ
http://youtu.be/qKhmZbVgywk
http://youtu.be/eeQzOycTlOU
http://youtu.be/RS5Ct3I8Yrs
… in there, you'll find some not-so-known 'tricks' to fasten the process of synching, such as using Markers (not 'on beat' just 'approx').
I tried with my multicam soccer-recordings = no music (aside the referee's whistle ), and FCPX managed indeed to synch this stuff - impressive!

Has anyone installed the new firmware?

Has anyone installed the new firmware yet? And have you noticed any issues with it? I'm weary of installing Apple's firmware updates after how terrible the last one was (I'm sure everyone remembers the hdd hangs). Also, Apple's trackpad update was terrible as well for the first few weeks it was out.

Because I was one of the users affected last time.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10416721#10416721
Not just a tiny amount of people. Lots of people had this issue. Firmware downgrade is what solved it, until Apple released an upgrade of the upgrade. I just wanted to check if anyone was having issues with this firmware before I upgraded.
And I'm not sure why people are getting so offended. It's a simple question of "did upgrading to the new firmware screw up your computer", and requires a yes or a no answer. The last two times I installed an update it messed with my computer, so it makes sense for me to be weary. You would be as well if you were in the same situation. And I have not yet heard anything about this firmware, but I haven't had time to check out what people have said. I'm in med school and I'm usually fairly busy.
